Drinkin' the Devil's Whiskey

[Instrumental Intro: Acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] Down in the holler where the shadows grow long A figure in the dark, singin' a devil's song He said, "Come on boy, take a sip from my flask" With a smile so sinister, hidden behind a mask [Chorus] [Haunting] Drinkin' the devil's whiskey, drownin' in sin Feelin' the fire burnin' deep within But I ain't gonna fall, I ain't gonna break Gonna battle that demon, for my soul's sake [Verse 2] Every night he whispered, "Boy, just one more" But my will was stronger, my heart like a roar Faced him in the moonlight, with my fists clenched tight Ready for the showdown, in the dead of the night [Chorus] [Majestic] Drinkin' the devil's whiskey, drownin' in sin Feelin' the fire burnin' deep within But I ain't gonna fall, I ain't gonna break Gonna battle that demon, for my soul's sake [Instrumental Solo: Fiddle and Pedal Steel Guitar] [Bridge] The devil's eyes were gleamin', his grin full of spite But my soul was a beacon, shinin' pure light With a prayer on my lips and a fire in my chest I fought for my freedom, and I gave it my best [Chorus] [Triumphant] Drinkin' the devil's whiskey, drownin' in sin Feelin' the fire burnin' deep within But I ain't gonna fall, I ain't gonna break Gonna battle that demon, for my soul's sake [Verse 3] Now the dawn is breakin', the devil's retreat I stand here victorious, my spirit complete No more chains to bind me, no more dark dreams I've won my redemption, or so it seems [Chorus] [Exultant] Drinkin' the devil's whiskey, drownin' in sin Feelin' the fire burnin' deep within But I ain't gonna fall, I ain't gonna break Gonna battle that demon, for my soul's sake [Outro] [Tempo picks up, Heavy Metal Sound] With the sun risin' high, and my heart full of pride I walk a new path, with angels by my side No more devil's whiskey, no more sorrow and pain Just the sweet taste of freedom, like a soft, gentle rain [Instrumental Solo: Three electric guitars in a Freebird-style solo, Heavy Metal Sound, Tempo picking up] [End] [Instrumental Outro: Three electric guitars in a Freebird-style solo, Heavy Metal Sound, Tempo picking up} [End] [Verse 3] Now the dawn is breakin', the devil's retreat I stand here victorious, my spirit complete No more chains to bind me, no more dark dreams I've won my redemption, or so it seems [Chorus] [Exultant] Drinkin' the devil's whiskey, drownin' in sin Feelin' the fire burnin' deep within But I ain't gonna fall, I ain't gonna break Gonna battle that demon, for my soul's sake [Outro] [Tempo picks up, Heavy Metal Sound] With the sun risin' high, and my heart full of pride I walk a new path, with angels by my side No more devil's whiskey, no more sorrow and pain Just the sweet taste of freedom, like a soft, gentle rain [Song Continues for two minutes] [Instrumental Solo: Three electric guitars in a Freebird-style solo, Heavy Metal Sound, Tempo picking up] [End]
