Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a dirt road, under that sunset sky
In the small town where our love story lies
We used to park our truck on that back porch
Windows down, listenin' to country radio
[Verse 2]
You in your blue jeans, me in my cowboy boots
We danced to the tunes of old country roots
With southern charm, we played our own guitar
On a summer night, we saw love's brightest star
[Chorus]
Whiskey on the tailgate, we drank it all away
In the small town, where our hearts used to play
Now it's just memories, faded like a summer breeze
Whiskey on the tailgate, that's all we got to ease
[Verse 3]
The moonlit fields, where we'd chase our dreams,
Whispering secrets, by the creek's gentle streams
Those heartbreak tales, woven under the stars,
Left their echoes in the hum of passing cars
[Verse 4]
We promised forever, in that sweet Southern air,
But life pulled us apart, it just wasn't fair
Still, those nights on the porch, we'd laugh so free,
Holding on to what was, what could never be
[Chorus]
Whiskey on the tailgate, we drank it all away
In the small town, where our hearts used to play
Now it's just memories, faded like a summer breeze
Whiskey on the tailgate, that's all we got to ease
[Bridge]
I see your shadow in every sunset glow,
Hear your laughter in the radio's flow
Though you're gone, your spirit's here to stay,
On this dirt road, I walk alone today
[Chorus]
Whiskey on the tailgate, we drank it all away
In the small town, where our hearts used to play
Now it's just memories, faded like a summer breeze
Whiskey on the tailgate, that's all we got to ease
[Outro]
So here's to the nights, and the dreams we'd chase,
To the love we found, and the love we'd face
Though we've gone our ways, in this small town I roam,
Where whiskey on the tailgate feels like home
