Time's Cruel Dance

[Verse] Old hands aching on this worn-out fretboard Scars tell stories of battles I can't forget Whiskey ain't enough to numb this heartache Playin for no one but shadows and regrets [Verse 2] Morning breaks through dusty motel windows Body creaks like an old wooden floor Missing you darling like fire misses air Miles stretch between us harder to ignore [Chorus] Time's cruel dance spins me in circles Pain's a partner that won't ever let go Work's a demon won't leave me be Whiskey's a friend but it doesn't soothe the soul [Verse 3] Old boots scuffed from the endless highway Guitar strings snap under weight of my blues Can't find comfort in the bottle's embrace Only dagger missing you under these moonlit hues [Bridge] Thunder rolls like my restless thoughts of you Lightning strikes but it don't light my path Darling your memory whispers like a ghost Echoes through every lonesome mile I pass [Chorus] Time's cruel dance spins me in circles Pain's a partner that won't ever let go Work's a demon won't leave me be Whiskey's a friend but it doesn't soothe the soul
