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
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
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
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
Sung
By Brad Paisley And
Alison Krauss
