From the recording Never Just a Song for DOWNLOAD
Whiskey Colored Dreams – Terry Foust / Shannon Slaughter
Heather – Lead Vocal / Shannon – Guitar and Harmony Vocal / Melonie – Harmony Vocal / Tim Crouch – Fiddles / Doug Jernigan – Pedal Steel Guitar / Ron I. – Mandolin / Tracy – Bass
We are big fans of traditional country music and this cut right in that vein. With Heather on the lead vocal, Doug Jernigan on steel, Tim Crouch on fiddles, Tracy Burcham on bass, and Melonie Cannon and I on harmony vocals, this song is one of my favorites on the whole record. Great Terry Foust collaboration and superb instrumentation and singing throughout. Heather really captured that old country feel with this song!! Great bass licks Trace!!
Lyrics
Writer: Terry Foust / Shannon Slaughter
1.
I told him it’s all over what we once had is gone
When the bright lights fade to darkness don’t bother coming home
Don‘t call me up at closing time, go on and do your thing
Stop holding my heart hostage with your Whiskey Colored Dreams
Chorus:
Night after night loneliness moves in
Day after day the heartaches never end
Right or wrong, when love is gone, there ain’t no middle ground –
Your Whiskey Colored Dreams are dying all over town
2.
Gather ’round the good ol’ boys drinking at the bar
Tell them how I did you wrong and broke your country heart
Pull up a stool and settle in, see what tomorrow brings
And pour yourself another glass (shot) of Whiskey Colored Dreams
Right or wrong when love is gone and there ain’t no middle ground
Your whiskey colored dreams are dying all over town
