Lynyrd Skynyrd :: :: Devil in a bottle




  
   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 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 ol' 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
  There's so many times I let him hurt me
  I got free the day I fought the
  Devil in the bottle
  Devil in the bottle
  Devil in the bottle
