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 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
|
|
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
|
