(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.

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal All i have to say about this song is that it is nothing but beautiful! The very first time that i heard this song, it really touched me, and it also reminded me of my ex boyfriend. I love this song so much... To anybody that hears this song and really listens to the words, it will make you cry if you are really tender hearted. But anyways this song is so great, it is the best country song i have ever heard!

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song really hit home with me. At the time this song came out my ex-boyfriend commited suicide. He had always had thoughts of killing himself when we were having problems but I never thought that he would do it. I couldn't have been more wrong. He was the love of my life and now he's gone and it is my fault. I feel like this song is going to be what happens to me.When it says [i]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[i] This is exactly how I feel. I completly blame myself for his death. But this was an awesome song and it brings tears to my eyes evertime I hear it.

17 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i love this song..its really sad and the video is very touching but one thing bad about it, what do they mean by "he put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger" i wasn't aware a bottle had a trigger? lol

65 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is an amazing song...while my ex and i had split we decided to spend one last night together and we laid in bed listening to this song and i will never forget him squeezing my hand when the part came on "I'll love her til i die" I know a lot of people cant stand this song but its the honest truth about how love can drive you to the depths of depression and also make you light as air.

13 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I don't know what to think about this song. At first I hated it, cuz it's about suicide and stuff. I was like well that's really great, a song about people killing themselves... but as i heard it more, i loved the tune. It's so beautiful and brad and allison did a wonderful job singing it. And also it sort of gets the idea across on how strong love can be. It shows how u really should be careful about what u do, cuz it might be the wrong decision. But i still am not sure i like the idea of singing about suicide. And it's like it's almost a good thing they committed suicide in the song... but it's actually not. It never is. So i hope some of you see my point.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Like some people here, I am not a country fan. I saw the song for the 1st time on CMT Videos. The lyrics, written in story mode, were very good. Though I thought the music was a bit cheesy, I have already learned the song and enjoy playing it via guitar. What got me was how powerful the lyrics with the video combined to see the story unfold was incredible, great cinematography. A modern day Romeo and Juliet if you ask me. I could see Evenesance (spelling?) doing this cover with equal success. Anyways good song...

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song can really touch a person. U don't think about it but a lot of ppl have tried to drink their pain away. And sum have killed themselves this way. I really like this song.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this song is awesome. brad and allisons voice go good together and the message in this song is a good one. being suicidel myself it really makes you realize how selfish it would be. even if it seems like no one could care there are people who do. and it doesnt even have to be people who are with you all the time. a couple of people taught me that and one even got me the help i needed and i'm not a 100% better but i know i have people and things to live for, and this song shows how that whatever you do, there is a consequence and you want to think twice because what you do affects people. it may be a sad song, but i personally love it and hope people see the message in it.

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song hit me pretty hard to be quite honest. The same thing happened to me, except I don't think she cares enough about what she did to me to ever drink herself to death....i've certainly been trying one bottle at a time. haha
