Samantha McKaige - Smoke & Whiskey

I cried so hard when I finally left for Denver
I cried so hard when I loaded up the car
He threw a fit, said he'd be fine in a bit
With heavy eyes, he walked on towards the bar

I cried so hard when I told him I was leaving
I cried so hard when I said "it's 'cause of you"
Colorado tracks left me looking at my past
So my first night I got drunk and sang the blues

Ooowee! Leaving feels so wrong when the guilt drones longer
And I've never seen someone fail so hard at being stronger
Your words painted pictures that I couldn't frame
In our house where you broke that bottle and lost your game

You took the back of my mind and pushed it forwards
You took the tip of my tongue and cut it off
You broke my heart, ripped off band aids in the dark
And you still dare to say that this is Denver's loss

Ooowee! Leaving feels so good when the road is louder
Than your voice saying I fucked up and you couldn't be prouder
My hands on your mind were all I ever wanted
But instead yours stayed stained with gin that left you haunted

Leave me on this road to nowhere I'll keep going
Till I find another man who drinks to find his home in
These mountains and these valleys filled with smoke & whiskey
I'm not comin' back 'cause I'm halfway there, I don't care if you miss me
