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 Ill 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
