Well, 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 Wish I could blame the whiskey, but I can only blame myself Running out of chances, and Lord that’s such a crime I got to find the answer before I lose my mind Oh Lord its a cryin sham
