To places that you'd never been

Back when every night the moon and you

Where you would never get the blues
B7 Em7 B7
Well now, whiskey gives you wings

To carry each one of your dreams
G Gmaj7
And the moon does not belong to you
C B7 Em7 B7
But I believe that your heart Keeps young dreams
Em7 A7
Well, I've been told To keep from ever growing old

And a heart that has been broken

Will be stronger when it mends
