She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart. He spent his whole life trying to forget.
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
But he never could get drunk enough you get her off his mind,
Until the night
[REX AND MELISSA:]
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 la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.
[MELISSA:]
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.
[REX AND MELISSA:]
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 downin 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 la.
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la...
这首经典之作“whiskey lullaby”出自于 Brad Paisley2003年的专辑《Mud On The Tires》，这张专辑在发行首周就登上了Billboard 200排行榜第八名，并且在前100名内坚持了近百周的时间，记得在当时这张专辑连自己都数不清播放了多少遍。与Brad Paisley合作这首歌曲的乡村女歌手很多人都比较熟悉，她就是Alison Krauss ，相信很多人还记得她的那首经典之作“When you say nothing at all”，她甜美清澈的声音给此曲作了很好的点缀，与Brad Paisley完美男女声线的组合，淡淡的、忧郁的，娓娓道出了一段刻骨铭心的悲剧，将将听者带进悲伤的氛围中--------
这首歌曲所讲述的背景故事是一个美丽的悲剧，在MTV里，这对爱人深深地坠入了爱河。但是，这个年轻的男子很快就被召入伍，离开了女孩所在的村庄。女孩一直再等她的爱人回来，直到有个流言传入她的耳里，传说这个男子已经在一场战斗中牺牲，女孩痛不欲生，她扣响了结束她年轻的生命的扳机。当这个年轻的男子在数年后回来，他再也找不到他的女朋友。一次偶然的机会，他听闻这个女孩几年前已经嫁为人妇…他不停地喝着WHISKY酒，不停地回想所有关于她和他们的所有的记忆……他失控般地哭泣，酗酒……直到最后他扣响了结束生命的扳机。之后，人们把他们埋葬在同一个墓穴里，来赞颂这至死不渝的爱
