Whiskey
Lullabye
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
watched him drink away his pain a little at a time.
But
he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind.
Till
the night...
He
put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
And
he finally blew 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 they buried him beneath the willow.
The
angels sang a whiskey lullaby.
La-la-la-la.
The
rumors flew...but nobody knew just how she blamed herself.
For
years and years...she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
She
finally drank away her pain a little at a time.
But
she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind.
Till
the night...
She
put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
And
she finally blew away his memory.
Life
is short, but this time it was bigger
Than
the strength she had to get up off her knees.
They
found her with her face down in the pillow.
Clinging
to his picture for dear life.
They
laid her next to him beneath the willow.
And
the angels sang a whiskey lullaby.
La-la-la-la.
