Whiskey Lullabye

For the last few days I've been grappling with what i need to do and what I want to do. There are so many times when I want to take to the bottle again just to get away for a little while of all the memories i have. I haven't been able to sleep and its like everytime i turn around when i'm around town i see his face or i see him or i see something that reminds me of something that has happened in our lives. This song just hits home for me because I know that when it all comes down to it no matter what the circumstances I'm gonna love him. No matter how hard i try to move on and smile and be happy with who I am and where i'm going theres still a big part of me where i know that i should have never let the devil win. 

Whiskey Lullabye
Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss

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

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

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

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
