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
