Song lyrics
(Bill Anderson/Jon Randall)
Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss

(Brad)
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.

Chorus: (Both)
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.

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.

Chorus: (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.

I love that song. But my mom always changes the station when it comes on. She says that it is too negative.

I am so sorry about your wife. i do not think that the song glorifies suicide. When he died it showed how much it affected her. If he did not die then maybe they could of gotten together and had a good life.

This song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It touched me very deeply because I too had loved some one that much at one time. It sends a chill through me to think that "it" could have been me.

Im a Tool, Disturbed, A Perfect Circle, Allison Krauss Fan...go figure lol - I dont think this song glorifies suicide- as some of U have said....it's a simple- but beautiful melody that spits in your face what life is all about for some.....and it does it soo sweetly that it makes U really listen. Of course, they could have used a "bubble gum" Shania Twain melody to relay the messege, but it would have had NO effect. Cheers, I think Ill have a toddy n have another listen.

thanks lil_flurr7 for mentioning the Romeo and Juliet connection. I was sure someone else had seen it but no one mentioned it. It's a wonderful combination of Romeo and Juliet, He Stopped Loving Her Today, and Seven Spanish Angels.

The Message of this song is horrid. People have enough to deal with these days..... You DON'T SEND MESSAGE TO ANYONE THAT THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM IS TO KILL YOURSELF.

this song is great so is the video catch it on cmt i love the words i sleep with my radio on at night and wake up instantly out of a sound sleep when they say its coming on on 925 i dont know how i just do but think about it on a different level if u have seen the video u know he kills himself because he goes away to the army and she says go and when u come back well have our family well he comes back and finds her cheating on him so he dies and then she dies but befor i saw that i thought wouldnt it be different if they just told each other how much they loved each other and how they couldnt live without each other literally girls never cheat on ur loves or anybody for that matter u wouldnt like it so why should they and u may regret it i sure did

BRILLANT LYRICS!! the line that says She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette. also, i believe the best and most poetic part of the song is when they sing He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
great song, songs undescribable.

Great song. It's so different from the typical slow love song. Really sad but also a great testament to how true love can be, even more than any of us like to admit in our lives. They say "love conquers all" and this song is a great testament to that

i think this song hits base with a lot of people. it is written with such ardor and grace. showing the consequence of selfishness, yes...but in the end-they both get the love of their lives.

I HATE to hear about all your deaths, i'm crying 4 you. me on the other hand feels like them. See i got me heart broken and i just feel like dying. i've thought of ways to kill my self. i'm obsevred how easy it would be. If someone needs to know how to die i can tell ya. The guy who broke my heart i was in LOVE with and i know i am. see josh turners song what it ain't. i might not know what love is but i can tell ya what it ain't. and even though this is true i know it's love. I also have mulitple #'s of friend who have tried to commite sucide. See they have used there razors many time to......
um you know. well as you see bye my screen name i'm ALWAYS crying on the inside but when i hear this tears are STREAMING down my face. I probelly cry enough each time i hear this to fill niargia falls. This is the BEST song and i only hope that all ya'll are Happy with your life, unlike me..

First off I'd like to say the Song is a beautiful piece, Brad and Allison make it worth wild to listen to if any of you have see the video it's really sad... Everytime i hear this song it makes me cry and the tears just fall from my eyes I don't know Sometimes it give me a feeling of what could happen in the future. But this is me and my Sister In laws fav Song and whenever we hear it on the radio we turn it up and sing with it Hopefully Brad and Allison will make anothing song simillar to this song.

This song is so sad you just can't help to cry. I'm not a big fan of Country music but this is a song that can make a Hip Hop lover cry. Sabrina
