Whiskey Lullaby

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.

Chorus:
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.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.

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.

Chorus:
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 la.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.

I Miss My Friend

I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
                                    The way your soft brown hair would fall
                                    I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
                                    Oh, but baby most of all
                                    I miss my friend
                                    
                                    The one my heart and soul confided in
                                    The one I felt the safest with
                                    The one who knew just what to say
                                    to make me laugh again
                                    let the light back in
                                    I miss my friend
                                    
                                    I miss the colors that you brought into my life
                                    Your golden smile with those blue-green eyes
                                    And I miss your gentle voice
                                    in lonely times like now
                                    sayin' it'll be alright
                                    I miss my friend
                                    
                                    The one my heart and soul confided in
                                    The one I felt the safest with
                                    The one who knew just what to say
                                    to make me laugh again
                                    let the light back in
                                    I miss my friend
                                    
                                    I miss those times
                                    I miss those nights
                                    I even miss our silly fights
                                    The makin' up, the mornin' talks
                                    And those late afternoon walks
                                    I miss my friend
                                    
                                    The one my heart and soul confided in
                                    The one I felt the safest with
                                    The one who knew just what to say
                                    to make me laugh again
                                    let the light back in
                                    I miss my friend
                                    
                                    I miss my friend
                                    I miss my friend
                                    Mmmm....
                                    I miss my friend


	How Far There's a boat, I could sail away There's the sky, I could catch a plane There's a train, there's the tracks I could leave and I could choose to not come back Oh, never come back There you are, giving up the fight Here I am begging you to try Talk to me, let me in But you just put your wall back up again Oh, when's it gonna end How far do I have to go to make you understand I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are So I'm gonna walk away And it's up to you to say how far There's a chance I could change my mind But I won't, not till you decide What you want, what you need Do you even care if I stay or leave Oh, what's it gonna be How far do I have to go to make you understand I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are So I'm gonna walk away And it's up to you to say how far Out of this chair, or just across the room Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon How far do I have to go to make you understand I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are So I'm gonna walk away And it's up to you to say Yeah I'm gonna walk away And it's up to you to say how far How far Ooohhhh Paint Me A Burmingham He was sittin’ there, his brush in hand Paintin’ waves as they danced, upon the sand With every stroke, he brought to life The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin’ sky I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes He said for twenty dollars, I’ll paint you anything. Chorus: Could you Paint Me A Birmingham Make it look just the way I planned A little house on the edge of town Porch goin’ all the way around Put her there in the front yard swing Cotton dress make it, early spring For awhile she’ll be, mine again If you can Paint Me A Birmingham. He looked at me, with knowing eyes Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side Picked up a brush, and said to me Son just Where in this picture, would you like to be I said if there’s any way you can Could you paint me back into her arms again. Paint Me A Birmingham Make it look just the way I planned A little house on the edge of town Porch goin’ all the way around Put her there in the front yard swing Cotton dress make it, early spring For awhile she’ll be, mine again If you can Paint Me A Birmingham. Paint me a Birmingham Make it look just the way I planned A little house on the edge of town Porch goin' all the way around Put her there in the front yard swing Cotton dress make it, early spring For awhile she’ll be, mine again If you can Paint Me A, Birmingham.
