she put him out, the like burnin' end of a midnight cigarette.
she broke his, 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.
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 feet
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
[ brad praisley ... said it well :) ]
ps: the above entry is dedicated to a best friend who cant get the song off his mind..:)
