Rex Goudie lyrics - Whiskey Lullaby (feat. Melissa O'Neil)

album: Under The Lights (2005)
genre:

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 

1st Chorus 
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 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 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 

2nd Chorus: 
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 
She Was 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... (to Fade)
