Cannon Melonie - Whiskey Lullabye 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 away his pain 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 he finally blew away her memory Life is short, 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 love her till I die And when they 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, 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 Until the night She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And she finally blew away his memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees They found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life They laid her next to him beneath the willow And 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 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
