She put him out
like the burning of a midnight ciggeret
she broke is heart
he spent his whole life
tryin to forget
he finally drank away his pain 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
finally drank away her memories
life is short but this time it was bigger
then the strengh he had to get off of his knees
they found him with his face down in the pillow
with a note that said i'll lover til i die
and when they burried him beneath the willow
the angles sang a whiskey lullaby
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 whiskey on her breath
she finally drank away the pain 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
finally drank away his memories
life is short but this time it was bigger
then the strengh she had to get up off her knees
they found her with her face down in the pillow
clingin to his picture for dear life
they laid her next to him beneath the willow
and the angels sang a wiskey lullaby
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
