I'm not the kind that gets around
Just another face in this little town
An everyday man trying to live life right
You wouldn't know it to look at me
I live in silent misery or i lead a double life

I've battled with the bottle
All alone for years
I've lied a thousand lies
And i've cried a million tears

I'm too tired to fight it
Too ashamed to pray
And i'm sure the lord must be bored
With the promises i've made
So i sit here with my secret
Where no on else can see
I'll just keep it
Between the devil and me

Monday morning, here i am
Hiding bottles in the garbage can
I take out the trash and pray no one sees
I keep my family in the dark
Lord knows it would break their hearts
To see their rock be so weak

I've had a good old baptist raisin'
So i've got no good excuse
I wish that i was stronger
But here's the honest truth

I'm hoping for a miracle
I know that i can change
No i'm not giving up
I know there'll come a day

When i'm not too tired to fight it
Or too ashamed to pray
And i know the lord won't be bored
With the promises i've made
I won't live here with my secret
Where no one else can see
No i won't keep it
Between the devil and me
No i won't keep it
Between the devil and me
