Song information

Lyrics

I come home late at night
With my boots in my hand
Stumble in the back door
Being quite 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

Chorus:
And she knows
The hell I'm going through
In this world
Inside my head
There's a devil
In the bottle
And he want's
To see me dead

I fall into her arms
And she helps me with my clothes
I guess she stays on with me
Because she really knows
That I'm tryin' lord
To find my freedom
By escaping to the only
Freedom I've ever known

Repeat chorus

Yes,there's a devil
In the bottle
And he want's
To see me dead

And it's killing her
Watching me die this way
