My latest attempt at writing a Bar Room style number, its a bit of a throwaway/album filler number rather than a 'serious' story song! Just a bit of fun lol!

Recording wise, I feel its a bit rough around the edges personally, so any and all tips etc as usual are very welcome!

Cold Beer And Whisky (c) PMcNaught 2026



[Verse 1]
Neon on the window
Last call on the wall
Your name on my phone again
I don't pick up at all
Boot prints on this sawdust
Where we once used to dance
Now I'm slow-sippin' memory
Out of this busted glass

[Chorus]
Cold beer and whiskey
They both burn goin' down
One's a little slower
One spins me around
Every time you leave me
I’m right back here, you see
Chasin' you in circles
With cold beer and whiskey

[Verse 2]
Bartender wipes the counter
Like he’s seen this show before
Says, "Son, you need a taxi
Not another pour"
But your laugh hits that jukebox
From some old Friday night
And I trade one more tomorrow
For one more blurry light

[Chorus]
Cold beer and whiskey
They both burn goin' down
One's a little slower
One spins me around
Every time you leave me
I’m right back here, you see
Chasin' you in circles
With cold beer and whiskey

[Bridge]
You’re that double on the rocks
I know I shouldn’t touch
But my hands still go reachin'
When the ache gets too much (oh yeah)
If loving you’s a habit
Guess I’m hooked and I’m proud
‘Cause I still taste you, baby
Every time I wash you down

[Chorus]
Cold beer and whiskey
They both burn goin' down
One's a little slower
One spins me around
Every time you leave me
I’m right back here, you see
Drownin' all our history
In cold beer and whiskey

[Outro]
Yeah, I’m still here, don’t miss me
Just cold beer
And whiskey
