Intro :
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cig arette
She b roke his heart he spent his whole life trying to f orget
We w atched him drink his pain a way a little at a time
But he never could get drunk en ough to get her off his mind
Until ton ight...
He put that b ottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And f inally drank away her memo ry
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the s trength he had to get up off his knees
They f ound him with his face down in the p illow
With a n ote that said I'll love her til I die
And wh en we buried him beneath the willow
The a ngel's sang a whiskey lull aby
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 f lew but no body knew how much she blamed h erself
For y ears and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain a way a little at a time
But she n ever could get drunk eno ugh to get him off her mind
Until the n ight...
She put that b ottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And f inally drank away his memo ry
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the s trength she had to get up off her knees
We fo und her with her face down in the pil low
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We la id her next to him beneath the willow
While a ngel's sang a whiskey lull aby
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
