Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss ~ "Whiskey Lullaby"

Lyrics:
[Brad Paisley:]
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

[Brad Paisley and 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

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Alison Krauss:]
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

[Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss:]
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

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, l

Yeah buried Tim beneath the willow I'll be damned, Thanks. I really appreciate it. Lullaby omgosh haah la la lalaalalaaa 👌😶‍🌫️😊👁️🙃🆗

I DONT THINK PEOPLE REALIZE WHAT A GREAT A GUTAR BRAD IS

Oooh yes this is the true taste of country music.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What a song bird

40 years! Still miss my wife :-{(I)

Alison Kraus is a Queen in my eyes ( & ears) She sang James Taylor "Carolina" with her violin. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. James was in the front row. This song? Masterpiece. I love it & I love singing duets of it on StarMaker app. James Taylor saved my life. I lost my 13 year old son via Vehicular Homicide in 2003. A young teen driver tried to take a 90 degree turn at 70 mph. My Sam was getting the mail. He was just doing one of his chores and had been waiting for his Xbox magazine to arrive. He was killed instantly. James Taylor & Alison Kraus were the only ones I could listen to for over that 1st year.❤🤠

أداء اسطوري لأغنية اسطورية ❤

Hadi mwisho wa Dunia In kiswahihi( Forever❤)

Wow i love this song very very much...thumbs up..lots of love from Kenya East Africa 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Idem que la version studio ..... la grande grande class ! ! ! !

I love this song❤

A beautiful, but very hurtful song ever written indeed.. When I saw the video of this song, it's just too much to take, when you take it to the reality of life, which is unlikely happens to everyone.
So please, take care of whom you are with, be careful not to make mistakes outside your relationship, otherwise you and your partner will end up like the video clip of this song ✌❤

OMG how God damn raw and sad. I live in the deep south. I can see that happening in a trailer park or Atlanta mansion

Not the same as the video with Ricky Schroeder. Those images are so strong.

The best music ..

I hope you aren't in alot of pain. I know you're scared, mixed up, odd thoughts but these are just words. There's no no words of comfort anyone can say unless they are going through the exact same emotions as you are. I love your music and hope the best for you ❤️🤠🫂

audio visual storytelling masterpiece

I LOVE ❤️ this song 🎵 😊🎉

FENOMENALI. UNICI. BRASSIMI .TUTTI QUANTI.👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

My husbsnd was in Vietnam. Didnt know him then. His girl friend dumped him.

Dr. Came by and left me some fentanyl and I'm going to sing this song and probably be gone

Anybody else notice that Brad looks a little like Hank?

I lve ds song.....but not be a broken in me......i lve my family.....i lve to listen......

Can we just take a second to appreciate Alison Krauss's voice? I'm not even a fan of country music but HFS lol That wonderful woman has PIPES!

This happend to one of my old military buddies. He was deployed in Irac, came home and his girl had found a new man. She also told him that his daughter wasnt his. ^
He drowned his pain in alcohol until it killed him. he was only 28.
Miss u buddy.

Pure Gold .

I truly believe Allison is ageless. Such a beautiful lady and legendary performer.

Great song by this Duo

came home from vietnam wife was 7 months pregnant . And in love with the town drunk. This song bring it all back, So i don't listen to it very often.

There are a lot of songs that nail "sad", but very few songs out there can claim that they are downright haunting.

I just woke up. Was it good?

If I m
Not mistaken didn’t Bill Anderson have a part in writing this song

This song is so beautiful, but simultaneously incredibly sad. But whoever wrote it was clearly an incredible songwriter.

MIssing a couple of key pieces to this puzzle aren't we?

Incredible song that hits home like a sledgehammer. The phrase "Better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all", holds NO merit to people like me who've repeatedly experienced what I have, learning some form of masked 'new lesson' every time. Sadly, no one will ever know what this song truly means, until they unfortunately have their heart absolutely CRUSHED by a partner, who with they fell so much in love, gets up and walks away from them forever. I've been devastated a few times to the point now where - I'm almost 60 years old and live by one single rule - to never fall in love, ever again. It's been really working well, the last 12 years - no more 'lessons' for me, thoughts of suicide haven't crossed my mind once. I'd much rather after all, be alone, than be LEFT alone.

LOVE ALISON`S VOICE

MAGIC was made when this song was written and sang by these two. Absolutely the best. Ever.

In my opinion... one of THE BEST and GREATEST country songs ever written and sung by two of the greatest country music stars of our time! I'm sure there are those who will argue that and that's ok but OMG! Alison Krauss has become a country music legend in her own time and Brad Paisley (even though I'm not really a big fan of his) created an iconic, sad and memorable song that won't be forgotten for the next several decades! The first time I heard this song was on the radio in my truck. I was leaving a small town in the Tennessee hills heading east on I40 just after burying my father next to my mother on a hill next to a little white church. I had to pull over and stop because I could not see the road ahead of me for the tears. This song hit me right in the heart and it always will. That personal connection will never fade and there are many songs out there like that for many people like me. That is what music does. Maybe we just need more of that in our lives. Our world would be such a better place if we just listened to the music and stopped fighting and arguing with each other.

WISH I COULD HEAR AN ANGLE SING BUT CAN NOT SO I WILL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR THE NEXT BEST THING Alison's VOICE
