Intro

 She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette

 She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying 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 tonight...

 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

 They found him with his face down in the pillow

 With a note that said I'll love her til I die

 And when we buried him beneath the willow

 The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby

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 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 angel's sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
