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 whatched 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 that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger, and finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger, then 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 La La La Laa x2
The rumours flew, 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, then 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 lullabye
La La La La La La La, La La La La La La Laa x4
