Whiskey lullaby

[00:11.66] She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette

[00:20.95] She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget

[00:31.66] We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time

[00:37.62] But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind

[00:43.93] Until the night

[00:47.16] He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger

[00:54.37] And finally drank away her memory

[01:00.65] Life is short but this time it was bigger

[01:07.13] Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

[01:13.65] We found him with his face down in the pillow

[01:19.90] With a note that said "I'll love her 'til I die"

[01:26.89] And when we buried him beneath the willow

[01:32.94] The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

[01:55.12] The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself

[02:04.21] For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath

[02:14.70] She finally drank her pain away a little at a time

[02:20.94] But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind

[02:26.91] Until the night

[02:30.18] She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger

[02:37.47] And finally drank away his memory

[02:44.15] Life is short but this time it was bigger

[02:50.47] Than the strength she had to get up off her knees

[02:56.88] We found her with her face down in the pillow

[03:03.15] Clinging to his picture for dear life

[03:09.62] We laid her next to him beneath the willow

[03:15.88] While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
