Whiskey Lullaby |
| She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette |
| She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget |
| We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time |
| But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind |
| Until the night |
| 1st Chorus |
| 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 |
| Than 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 |
| (Sing lullaby) |
| The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself |
| For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath |
| She finally drank her pain away a little at a time |
| But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind |
| Until the night |
| 2nd Chorus |
| 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 |
