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，他听闻另外一个版本的流言:这个女孩几年前已经嫁为人妇…他不停地喝着威士忌，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情！！
歌词:
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
她离开了他,如同一支在午夜燃尽的香烟
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
她伤透了他的心,他将要用他的余生去忘记
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
我们望着他 饮尽悲伤 一次一次 一点一滴
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
但他无法让自己 足够沉醉 沉醉到足以让她从他的心中离去
Until the night
直到 那个夜晚
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
他端起酒瓶饮颈而下 并对着自己扣响了扳机
And finally drank away her memory
终于，他喝完了所有关于她的记忆
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命是短暂的,但这一刻它却如此强大
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
甚至大过了他再次站起来回到生活中的力量
We found him with his face down in the pillow
我们终于找到他 他却已将自己深深埋在枕头里
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
临别遗言 一纸短笺：我爱她直至我生命终结的那一刻
And when we buried him beneath the willow
当我们把他安葬在低垂的柳树下时
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
天使们唱起了威士忌安魂曲
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
流言飞传 但没有人知道 她心里无限的自责
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
年复一年 她试图隐藏 那已融入呼吸的威士忌味道
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
她终于饮尽悲伤 一次一次 一点一滴
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
但她无法让自己 足够沉醉 沉醉到足以让他从她的心中离去
Until the night
直到 那个夜晚
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
她端起酒瓶饮颈而下 并对着自己扣响了扳机
And finally drank away his memory
终于她喝完了所有关于他的记忆
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命是短暂的,但这一刻它却如此强大,
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
甚至大过了她重新站起来回到生活中的力量
We found her with he*-**ce down in the pillow
我们终于找到了她 她却已将自己深深埋在枕头里
Clinging to his picture for dear life
手中紧紧握着亲爱的他的相片
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
我们把她安葬在低垂的柳树下,紧偎在他的身旁
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
那刻 天使们又唱起 威士忌安魂曲
