There's a devil in the bottle, staring straight at me
Daring me to reach out, but I know he's testing me
If I take just one sip, I become that devil's son
Act a fool, sell my soul before God and everyoneOh Lord, I know
I only hurt the ones I loveI'm walkin' down this dead end road, all alone and by myself
I wish I could blame the whiskey, but I can only blame myself
I'm running out of chances, and Lord that's such a crime
I got to find the answer before I lose my mindOh Lord, it's a cryin' shame
Oh Lord, I've caused so much pain
I only hurt the ones I loveThere's a devil in a bottle that just won't let me be
So many times I've been hurtin' my soul and family
But I got free on the day I fought the
Devil in the bottleThe next time that old devil
Tries to get the best of me
I'll smash that bottle against the wall
And know I'm finally freeThere's a devil in a bottle that just won't let me be
So many times I let him hurt me
I got free on the day I fought the
Devil in the bottleDevil in the bottle
Devil in the bottle
