A Whiskey State of Mind (lyrics - critque - country)

by David
(New Mexico)

I'm an unpublished poet and this is my second attempt at writing song lyrics. I would appreciate any honest commentary - thanks and happy trails.

In all the times before
you said that you were leaving
I never thought you'd leave me for another someones arms
but now you've gone and left me
drowning in my sorrows in a whiskey state of mind

There'll be no more tomorrows
just dreams of yesterday
those happy hours loving you until you went away

Meanwhile in this barroom
where the wine and liquor flows
I spend my days and wasted nights 'til morning comes along
a bottle in my hand
drowning in my sorrows in a whiskey state of mind

There'll be no more tomorrows
just whispers in the wind
and mem'ries of your laughing eyes in disappearing dreams

Though time for us is gone
and our world no longer turns
I can't forget your sweet caress the way you touched my skin
the lonely days and missing you
yet somewhere in what's left of time I'll learn to love again

'til then there's no tomorrow
just mem'ries of what might have been
until I find a new sweet love I'll stay a rolling stone
