WHISKEY, LEATHER AND LACE
By Ironwood Road
[Intro – spoken, low, gritty, slow‑burn delivery, minimal instruments]
Soon as she looked my way… my whole damn world slipped away.
Didn’t stand a chance… I was gone at first glance.
[Verse 1 – relaxed, spacious phrasing]
Whiskey on her lips, and fire in her eyes,
Black leather boots movin’ slow up to her thighs.
Black dress with sheer lace that don’t try to hide,
Danger in her smile — I couldn’t run or hide.
[Beat pause — one breath before chorus]
[Chorus delivery: slow drag, gritty tone, long vowels, behind‑the‑beat swagger]
Soon as she looked my way—
Whole damn world slipped away.
Left me beggin’ for a taste—
Of her whiskey, leather and lace.
[Verse 2 – relaxed, spacious phrasing]
I ain’t never been the kind to fall that fast,
Never let a woman turn me from my path.
Always kept my distance, always played it safe—
One look at her and the ground slipped away.
[Beat pause — one breath before chorus]
[Chorus – slow drag, gritty tone, long vowels, behind‑the‑beat swagger]
Soon as she looked my way—
Whole damn world slipped away.
Left me beggin’ for a taste—
Of her whiskey, leather and lace.
[Verse 3 – relaxed, spacious phrasing]
I don’t know how it happened, but she drew me in
Burned down every wall I’d been buildin’.
One taste of her fire and my heart began to race,
Now I’m fallin’ deeper for her whiskey, leather and lace.
[Beat pause — one breath before chorus]
[Final Chorus – slowest, most stretched, gritty tone, long vowels, behind‑the‑beat swagger]
Soon as she looked my way—
Whole damn world slipped away.
Left me beggin’ for a taste—
Of her whiskey, leather and lace.
Now I’m lost in her embrace,
Ain’t no runnin’ from that taste—
Yeah, she’s got me in a haze
With her whiskey, leather and lace.
