[Intro]

[Verse]
Empty bottle, cold hard ground
Sunrise paintin' the highway town
Another night I can't reclaim
Whisperin' your forgotten name
Yeah, the choices made, they always sting
Like a broken bird with a clipped wing

[Pre-Chorus]
This ain't the glory that I chased
Just the bitter taste of time erased
But the sky's on fire, a brand new day
Washin' all the ghosts away

[Chorus]
Whiskey at sunrise, a lonely friend
Watchin' the broken pieces mend
This ain't the life I thought I'd lead
But it's the one I got, the only creed
Yeah, the price of freedom, paid in full
Leavin' me here, feelin' the pull

[Verse]
Remember promises, sworn in the dark
Now just echoes leavin' their mark
Lost some good souls along the way
Chasin' shadows, day by day
This dusty road, it calls to me
Seekin' solace, wild and free

[Pre-Chorus]
This ain't the glory that I chased
Just the bitter taste of time erased
But the sky's on fire, a brand new day
Washin' all the ghosts away

[Chorus]
Whiskey at sunrise, a lonely friend
Watchin' the broken pieces mend
This ain't the life I thought I'd lead
But it's the one I got, the only creed
Yeah, the price of freedom, paid in full
Leavin' me here, feelin' the pull

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
There's a strange calm when it all falls down
No more fightin', wearin' a crown
Just the quiet hum of the open road
Carryin' my own heavy load
But the air is clean, the light is true
Maybe there's a chance for me and you

[Chorus]
Whiskey at sunrise, a lonely friend
Watchin' the broken pieces mend
This ain't the life I thought I'd lead
But it's the one I got, the only creed
Yeah, the price of freedom, paid in full
Leavin' me here, feelin' the pull

[Outro]
