  • She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette

  • She broke his heart

  • He spend his whole life trying to forget

  • We watch him drink his pain away

  • Little at a time

  • But he never could get drunk enough

  • To get her of 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

  • And 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

  • la la la la la la la

  • la la la la la la la

  • la la la la la la la

  • la la la la la la la

  • The rumors flew

  • But nobody knew how much she blamed herself

  • For years and years

  • She tried to hide the whiskey on her breathe

  • She finally drank her pain away little at a time

  • But she never could get drunk enough to get him of 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

  • Than 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 lullaby

  • la la la la la la la

  • la la la la la la la

  • la la la la la la la

  • la la la la la la la

She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
