Whisky Lullaby

1. 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
Untill the night.

[Chorus:]
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 strengh 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 burried him beneath the willow
The angles sang the Whisky Lullaby.

Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalaaaaaa
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalaaaaaa.

2. The rumors flew
But nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years
She tried to hide the whisky 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
Untill the night.
