to her head

作词：Bill Anderson+John Randall

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

But 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 love her till I die

And when we buried him

beneath the willow

The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

la

la

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

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
