Whiskey Lullaby Song Lyrics by Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley
She put him outLike the burning end of a midnight cigaretteShe broke his heartHe spent his whole life trying to forget
We watched him drink his pain awayLittle at a timeBut he never could get drunk enoughTo get her off his mind until the night
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the triggerAnd finally drank away her memoryLife is short but this time it was biggerAnd the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillowWith a note that said I’ll love her till I dieAnd when we buried him beneath the willowThe angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la laLa la la la la la laLa la la la la la laLa la la la la la la
The rumors flewBut nobody knew how much she blamed herselfFor years and yearsShe tried to hide the whiskey on her breathe
She finally drank her pain away little at a timeBut she never could get drunk enough to get him of her mindUntil the night
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the triggerAnd finally drank away his memoryLife is short but this time it was biggerThan the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillowClinging to his picture for dear lifeWe laid her next to him beneath the willowWhile the Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la laLa la la la la la la
La la la la la la laLa la la la la la la
La la la la la la laLa la la la la la laLa la la la la la laLa la la la la la la
