I come home late at night...

[Rebel Son]

with my boots in my hands.

[Rebel Son]

Stumble in the back door being quiet as I can.

[Rebel Son]

And I know she's there in bed, cold and all alone.
and she's crying because I'm breaking up our home.

[Rebel Son]

And she knows the hell I'm going through in this world inside my head.
There's a devil in the bottle lord and he wants to see me dead.

[Rebel Son]

I fall into her arms and she helps me with my clothes.
Guess she stays on with me cause she really knows,

[Rebel Son]

that I'm tryin' Lord, to find my freedom by excaping to the only freedom I've ever known.

[honkytonkspecial]

And she knows the hell I'm going through in this world inside my head.
There's a devil in the bottle lord and he won't rest until I'm dead.

[honkytonkspecial]

There's a devil living in the bottle Lord and he won't rest 'til I'm dead
and its killing her too, watching me die this way
