1st Verse

Bad booze and cigarettes, sitting here with my regrets
with my hand wrapped around this bottle of mine.
I cant seem to drink enough, he must of give me the weaker stuff
cause your picture's still right here in my mind.

I cant imagine god likes me too much anymore, I cant hardly blame the guy at all
for leaving me right here were I've falling on this floor, Sometimes you don't get up when you fall
I'm to far gone for it to be to long now,
but I'll get back up, stand up straight, and put this bottle down

Chorus
When the Devil quits calling my name, and the tears that fall wash away my pride
When this bottle finally kills all this pain, and I've beaten off these demons in my mind.
I've seen to much and done enough, to ever feel the same
But I'll get back up into the light, When the Devil quits calling my name.

2nd Verse

Bad dreams and longer nights, what is wrong and what is right
That's the question burning deep in my soul.
and what this is and what this aint, I don't think I have the strength,
To get myself on track or gain control.

And I cant say I like my self to much any more, For getting me in over her head.
I'ts guys like me that men like that read the bible for, But what's right in my heart, don't match whats in my head.

Some day I'll get some rest.

(Repeat) Chrous.
