Spilled Whiskey

Sittin' at a bar in San Padre
Whiskey meltin' ice in my glass
When she walked up and said, cowboy
Do those old boots like to dance?
The band was playin' something sorta
Spanish and blue
I spilled half my drink, easing off that stool

And the way she smiled
I knew she knew she had me
We burned so fast
It was pretty while it lasted
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey

I remember it was rainin'
The morning that the fire went out
She left a kiss on a matchbook
Slipped off without making a sound
I held her long enough to know
I couldn't hold her but the world felt good
With her head on my shoulder

And the way she smiled
I knew she knew she had me
We burned so fast
It was pretty while it lasted
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey

Ain't no tellin' where she is right now
I think I'll drink another
While I sit and think about

The way she smiled
We burned so fast
It was pretty while it lasted
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey
Just like a lighted match on spilled whiskey
