I come home late at night with my boots in my hands   Stumblin’ the backdoor bein’ quiet as I can   And I know she’s there in bed cold and all alone   And she’s cryin’ because I’m breaking up our home   And she knows the hell that I’m goin’ through    In this world inside my head   There’s a devil in the bottle Lord    And he wants to see me dead   I fall into her arms and she helps me with my clothes   Guess she stays on with me cause she really knows   But I’m tryin’ Lord to find my freedom   By escaping to the only freedom I’ve ever known   Chorus 2:   And she knows the hell that I’m goin’ through in this world inside my head   There’s a devil in the bottle Lord and he won’t rest till I’m dead   There’s a devil livin’ in this bottle    And he won’t rest till I’m dead
