| [00:12.340] |
She put him out like the burning end of |
| [00:12.350] |
a midnight cigarette |
| [00:22.800] |
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget |
| [00:32.680] |
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time |
| [00:38.900] |
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind |
| [00:44.460] |
Until the night |
| [00:47.780] |
1st Chorus |
| [00:47.990] |
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger |
| [00:54.990] |
And finally drank away her memory |
| [01:01.660] |
Life is short but this time it was bigger |
| [01:08.690] |
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees |
| [01:14.370] |
We found him with his face down in the pillow |
| [01:20.470] |
With a note that said I′ll love her till I die |
| [01:27.170] |
And when we buried him beneath the willow |
| [01:33.590] |
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby |
| [01:38.340] |
lala lala |
| [01:54.840] |
(Sing lullaby) |
| [01:55.530] |
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself |
| [02:04.720] |
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath |
| [02:15.230] |
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time |
| [02:21.790] |
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind |
| [02:27.440] |
Until the night |
| [02:30.860] |
2nd Chorus |
| [02:31.579] |
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger |
| [02:37.810] |
And finally drank away his memory |
| [02:44.190] |
Life is short but this time it was bigger |
| [02:50.360] |
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees |
| [02:57.000] |
We found her with her face down in the pillow |
| [03:03.720] |
Clinging to his picture for dear life |
| [03:09.890] |
We laid her next to him beneath the willow |
| [03:16.410] |
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby |
| [03:21.300] |
lala lala |
