Intro
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigar ette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forg et
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 ton ight...
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the t rigger
And finally drank away her memor y
Life is short but this time it was b igger
Than the strength he had to get up off his kn ees
They found him with his face down in the pi llow
With a note that said I'll love her til I d ie
And when we buried him beneath the w illow
The angel's sang a whiskey lulla by
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 her self
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her br eath
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 n ight...
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the t rigger
And finally drank away his memor y
Life is short but this time it was b igger
Than the strength she had to get up off her kn ees
We found her with her face down in the pill ow
Clinging to his picture for dear l ife
We laid her next to him beneath the w illow
While angel's sang a whiskey lulla by
La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
