Whiskey and Sunrise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a kind of man who carries the weight Of years spent giving, holding it straight Hands rough from working, heart soft as the rain Who stayed for the children, who swallowed the pain He never knew what love was meant to be 'Til fate took his hand and led him to me [Chorus] Oh, you deserve the sunrise, every golden line You deserve a love that's tender, steady as the time Whiskey on your breath and a smile in your eyes A country road forever, you and I [Verse 2] Six little echoes still live in your soul One gone too soon, leaves a hole in the whole The others may wander, but the door stays wide 'Til they find their way back to your side And here in the meantime, we're building a home With a girl who adores you, you're never alone [Chorus] Oh Phil, you deserve the sunrise, every golden line You deserve a love that's tender, steady as the time Whiskey on your breath and a smile in your eyes A country road forever, you and I [Bridge] You call me beautiful, you make me believe That two broken pasts can still learn how to breathe [Verse 3] So go play your golf and pour one more glass I'll love every weakness, the present, the past My Phil, my hard worker, my soft-spoken friend The man I'll be choosing again and again A stepdaughter laughing, a kitchen full of light This is the love story we're getting right [Chorus] Oh Phil, you deserve the sunrise, every golden line You deserve a love that's tender, steady as the time Whiskey on your breath and a smile in your eyes A country road forever, you and I [Outro] Yeah you're mine, sweet Phil, all mine A country road forever, you and I
