Whiskey Lullaby

She put him out
 Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
 She broke his heart
 He spent his whole life trying to forget
 We watched him drink his pain away
 Little at a time
 But he never could get drunk enough
 To get her off his mind until the night
 He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
 And finally drank away her memory
 Life is short but this time it was bigger
 And the strength he had to get up off his knees
 We found him with his face down in the pillow
 With a note that said I'll love her till I die
 And when we buried him beneath the willow
 The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la la la
 The rumors flew
 But nobody knew how much she blamed herself
 For years and years
 She tried to hide the whiskey on her breathe
 She finally drank her pain away little at a time
 But she never could get drunk enough to get him of her mind
 Until the night
 She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
 And finally drank away his memory
 Life is short but this time it was bigger
 Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
 We found her with her face down in the pillow
 Clinging to his picture for dear life
 We laid her next to him beneath the willow
 While the Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
