Whiskey Lullabye-Guys Part

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart. He spent his whole life trying to forget.
They 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 the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
He finally drank away her memories.
Life is short but this time it was bigger
than the strength he had to get up off his knees.
They found him with his face down in the pillow
with a note that said I love her til I die.
When they buried him beneath the willow
the angels sang a whiskey lullabye.
