Whiskey Lullaby (duet With Brad Paisley) Lyrics - A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection - Alison Krauss

She put him out like the 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 

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 knees 

We found him with his face down in the pillow 

With a note that said 'I'll love her 'til I die' 

And when we buried him beneath the willow 

The angels sang a whiskey lullaby 

(Both) 

La la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la

(Alison) 

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 

(Both) 

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 

La la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la
