Whiskey Lalluby

Here’s the lyrics to a sad county song by Brad Paisley & Allison Krous that is stuck in my head.

She put him out ..like a 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 his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
That 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 no body 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
That 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
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
(Sing lullaby)
