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 laaaa...
La la la la la la la...La la la la la la laaaa...
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
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 laaaa...
La la la la la la la...La la la la la la laaaa...
La la la la la la la...La la la la la la laaaa...
La la la la la la la...La la la la la la laaaa...

...a very very very sad love story but that's life..it's their story. I just remember a lot of my batchmates everytime I listen to it...speaking of the song,the message,singers,the mtv,the voice,the tune, IT'S VERY POWERFUL!!!
As I listen to this song thoughts come through my mind as if I was that artist who wrote these lyrics. This beautiful piece of work has ten times the meaning of any other song that I heard before. I’m not a big country fan but when my cousin showed me the video to this song I was mystified. You don’t need to be a genius to understand the lyrics to this song basically he got cheated on couldn’t stand it, turned to alcohol as a way to resolve his problem and then killed himself. I know this sounds depressing, but they way Brad Paisley put the words together was brilliant. In the end the women who cheated on him had so much guilt she then killed herself. I agree with the comment from Gator_McKlusky about how this song is so relatable to How the Red Fern Grows. Woo Hoo Lee!!!
