I’m drowning in a whiskey river
Bathing my mem’ried mind
In the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current
Flowin’ from my mind
And leaving a heart you left so cold
Willie!
[Chorus: Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss ]
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 ‘til I die”
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
