Whiskey Lullabye (Brad Paisley with Alison Krauss)
|
(John Randall/Bill Anderson)
|
|
Brad:
|
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 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 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,
|
Alison and Brad:
|
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 laaaa...
