Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby Lyrics

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his
heart, he spent his whole life tryin' 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 the night

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
We found him
with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said, 'I'll love her till I
die.'
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey
lullaby

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 the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
