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 everyone      Oh Lord, I know   I only hurt the ones I love      I'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 mind      Oh Lord, it's a cryin' shame   Oh Lord, I've caused so much pain   I only hurt the ones I love      There'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 bottle      The 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 free      There'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 bottle      Devil in the bottle   Devil in the bottle
