Lyrics
[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
