Whiskey Lullaby Lyrics

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



1st 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 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



(Sing lullaby)



The rumors flew but nobody know 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



2nd Chorus

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



(Sing lullaby)
