Whiskey Lullaby (featuring Alison Krauss)
(Brad Paisley)
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 his pain away
A little at a time.
But he never could get drunk enough,
To get her off his mind.
Until the night,
(Brad and Alison)
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
Than the strength he had to get up off his kness
We found him with his face down in the pillow,
With a note that said "Ill Love her till I die."
And when we buried him benieth the willow,
The angels sand a whisky lullaby
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 treid to hide the whiskey on her breath.
She fianlly 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
(Alison and Brad)
she put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
And fianlly 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.
