Lynyrd Skynyrd - Devil In The Bottle Lyrics






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

    Tequila

  20. G.... H....

    Thirty days LORD, and thirty nights, got it out of my system finally, and now I'm alright! (Sober 1191 days!)

  21. f.... c....

    my life in a song but i found my way out

  22. S.... M....

    the devils bad he is evil never do what he tells you to do never fallow in his foot steps  ever nothing good will ever come of it

  23. J.... B....

    The devil took me a long time ago and still has a strong hold

    J.... B....

    Me too brother. I want to let it go, but it's so dang hard to. Lord be with you, me and everyone fighting addiction

  24. C.... B....

    This song sums it all up for me so inspirational to me!! ☺!! Fu***** genius Lyrics! I listen to it every time I'm tempted by the devil

    C.... B....

    Keep in mind bottle mean any kind of addiction, depression whatever!!

  25. Q.... ....

    I think this song is just awesome. I bought it the day it came out and my favorite stuff on it was the new stuff--this song, gooduck bad luck and hillbilly blues were just amazing. Gary's guitar work is just unreal. That man is just simply one of the best there is in my opinion.

    Q.... ....

    Couldn't agree more

    Q.... ....

    @Johnny Bravo. No there is not a "Ronnie VZ" version of this. I take it you aren't a big LS fan LOL

  26. H.... S....

    Great song from the best band ever!

  27. M.... M....

    My devil is jack daniels.

    M.... M....

    segrams

    M.... M....

    Jim Beam....

    M.... M....

    Vsginas

    M.... M....

    If it's gonna be one, that'd be a good one.

  28. l.... l....

    AMAZING!!!!!!

  29. t.... ....

    yeah too bad the holy annointing oil he used was made of cannabis

  30. t.... ....

    I need some Shine at the moment but too bad im in holland

  31. j.... b....

    Is there a ronnie van zant version of this song? Can one of you link it to me?
    Don't get me wrong, Johnny did good in this one, But I wanna hear Ronnie too.

    j.... b....

    Unless I'm crazy wrong here, this is Ronnie... Johnny's voice is deeper, isn't it?

    j.... b....

    johnny bravo Johnnie wrote the song, so no there is not Ronnie version.

    j.... b....

    It's Johnnie doing his best Ronnie impersonation. Early into the revamped skynyrd of the 1990s Johnnie tried a lot harder to get that Ronnie sound in his voice. Lat 15 years or so, not so much...

  32. T.... ....

    To hell with that. Whiskey or beer. Nothing more, nothing less.

  33. T.... R....

    the bible also talks about men abusing women and treating them like 2nd class citizens, i'll stick with the whiskey n weed cheers any way

  34. M.... T....

    I let my spirit go long time ago. Never mind the devil. We have much bigger problems.

  35. M.... ....

    I came here expecting to hear Lynyrd Skynyrd... not some idiotic cover band fronted by the untalented Van Zant brother who makes his living by sh!tting on Ronnie's legacy.

  36. C.... B....

    I'LL STICK 2 MY 211 !! THE "GET 'ER DONE BEER" ZANTFAN55

  53. Z.... M....

    makin yur own whiskey is way cheaper

  54. M.... ....

    insomnia. He will probally get better once his body gets used to how much he is smoking, nice choice in music though. You think this Skynyrd is good you should hear old the original Skynyrd

  55. M.... ....

    Shit man you started the dam fight, so don't try and make me feel sorry for you, I am sorry I called you retarted that was my bad. But next time make sure you know what you are talking about, cause as you can see there are many other things that can cause insomnia. Maybe it was the grass, but I think if he had any of those other conditions cutting down to half might been enough to cause

  56. t.... ....

    I spelt perfectly and at least im not a condersending son of a bitch like you

  57. M.... ....

    Shit I hope English is not your first language man, as you are horrible at spelling and expressing your thaughts clearly. I cant even make out your message man. Did you even read what you typed lmao. Hey I heard they named a chinese dish after you yea it is called "one dumb fuck" It actually took me 10 seconde to find that, it took me more time to copy and paste then find it. Funny how you think you work more then me which I can guarntee you is not true.

  58. t.... ....

    Abit defensive as i have alot more free time than u ever will to research these things but its can differ from person to person if they have an obsessive personality

  59. M.... ....

    cocaine, ephedrine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, fluoroquinolone antibiotic drugs. Disruptions in circadian rhythm: jet lag, job shift changes, high altitudes, noisiness, hotness or coldness.Psychological issues: stress, anxiety, depression, mania, schizophrenia Medical conditions: brain lesions and tumors, stroke, chronic pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, congestive heart failure, angina, acid-reflux disease(GERD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, sleep apnea, Parkinson's and

  60. M.... ....

    Insomnia can be caused by physical factors as well as psychological factors. There is often an underlying medical condition that causes chronic insomnia, while transient insomnia may be due to a recent event or occurrence. Causes of insomnia include: Drugs, alcohol, and medicines: caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, stimulants, antidepressants, heart and blood pressure medications, allergy medicines, decongestants, weight-loss medicines, antihistamines,

  61. M.... ....

    Shit man speak properly. Cut down to half I am guessing means he cut was he was smoking in half. And it sounds like he used to help him sleep. So maybe he has a sleepind disorder and uses reefer to help him fall asleep like I know alot of people do. So maybe because he cut down to half lol like you say is why he cant sleep. There is so much that causes insomnia, it is funny how you blame it all on refer which is by the way; a plant, and if gown right is 100% natural with no chemicals

  62. t.... ....

    My brother cut down to half and he had insomnia so thats a withdrawal

  63. A.... ....

    Kinda reminds me In My Time Of Dying by Led Zeppelin...

  64. d.... ....

    yup bro I'm pretty sure sober is not a southern drink...\m/\m/

  65. T.... G....

  74. M.... M....

    @cjcool91

    oh yea?

  75. c.... ....

    @Airsoftslave Theres a reason why they call it dope. But I think its safe for the most part but I still dont touch the shit..I dont touch alchohol or cigarettes either. But seriously please agree that weed is harmless but dont pretend its gonna solve every problem in the world because realistically it cant.

  76. M.... M....

    @11RD1993

    sorry whiskey only man :D

  77. P.... C....

    after this song I want bottle of rum ;)

  78. j.... ....

    why the fuck all this weed talk in a lynyrd skynyrd song?

  79. t.... ....

    Dude: DRINK,SMOKE AND ROCK'N'ROLL.Is that easy.

  80. B.... C....

    Uma das melhores músicas que já ouvi. Violões lombrantes! *_*

  81. J.... w....

    @quading101 and the side affects of any other drugs are a long and painful death caused by the depression they cause

  82. M.... ....

    @proudNRAmember HAHAHAHAHA u people make me laugh

  83. M.... M....

    @proudNRAmember

    pot harmful my ass bro do some goddam research

  84. J.... D....

    anyone here ever read the Bible? Jesus drank wine and beer , He never got drunk and He never smoked dope because its bad for your body and your body is a temple of the Holy Spirt

  85. G.... A....

    techinicaly there are chemicals in weed to the same extent there are chemicals in side you and me you getting high in the first place is due to chemistry the arangement of carbon and the other atoms that make up a partical of weed combust and the compounds created by the combustion is what gets you high

  86. M.... ....

    @paragtime Yea but how much of it is made that way now buds?

  87. M.... ....

    @paragtime You are right grass does have chemicals, but no man made chemicals is what I should of said. Dont get me wrong I know you can have both kinds of grass, where you let it grow naturally and not add anything, or you can add crap to it while it is growing. You are also an example of what it does, turns people into assholes. Go pound sand up your ass

  88. M.... ....

    @Airsoftslave Thanks bro, but it take one to know one.

  89. M.... M....

    @MrPorsche91730

    you sir are fucking awesome

  90. M.... ....

    There are some dumb people on here. Pot is a plant no chemicals, which means withdrawl is not as severe as alcohol, you will not get cold sweats, throw up, etc. You will just want ti smoke it, its all in your head. I can tell you this first hand as I have been smoking since I was in grade 8, Im 23 and havent done it for a month cause money is a little tight rigth now. God made grass, man made booze who do you trust?

  91. d.... d....

    good song

  92. d.... d....

    your not high and weed isnt addicctive

  93. d.... d....

    your not high

  94. i.... ....

    @Airsoftslave What do you think happens when you run out of weed?

  95. i.... ....

    @Airsoftslave I said that there are better alternatives. You can't cure an addiction with another addiction. And marijuana IS ADDICTIVE YOU MORON

  96. M.... M....

    @iilliiyyaa

    seriously you really think that alcheads dont know that marijuana is way safer than alcohol? are you that dumb? CASE CLOSED

  97. i.... ....

    @Airsoftslave Look, I used to smoke marijuana a lot, probably more than you ever will, so stop preaching around that it's the best alternative for alcohol, you're confusing people who actualy have a serious problem.
