Lyrics

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

He put that bottle to his head

Bottle to his head and pulled the trigger and pulled the trigger

And finally drank

And finally drank away her memory away her memory

Life is short

Life is short but this time it was bigger but this time it was bigger

Than the strength he had

Than the strength he had to get up off his knees to get up off his knees

We found him with his face

We found him with his face down in the pillow down in the pillow

With a note that said

With a note that said

I'll love her till I die

I'll love her till I die

And when we buried him

And when we buried him beneath the willow beneath the willow

The angels sang

The angels sang a whiskey lullaby 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

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 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

She put that bottle to her head

Bottle to her head and pulled the trigger and pulled the trigger

And finally drank

And finally drank away his memory away his memory

Life is short

Life is short but this time it was bigger but this time it was bigger

Than the strength she had

Than the strength she had to get up off her knees to get up off her knees

We found her with her face

We found her with her face down in the pillow down in the pillow

Clinging to his picture

Clinging to his picture for dear life for dear life

We laid her next to him

We laid her next to him beneath the willow beneath the willow

While the angels sang

While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby 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

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

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

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
