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 the night.
He put the 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 lullabye.
La...la...la...la...la...
La...la...la...la...la...
The room was full
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 layed her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullabye.
