(Brad Martin/A. Wilson/M. Powell)



There must be a demon in that bottle

It's been stealing my money all night long

I'm down to a dollar on my paycheck

But it's all been going to a worthy cause



Damn the whiskey

For making me feel so good

To hell with the honky tonks for doing what they should

It's the price you pay, but that's ok

Helps a working man get by



Come Monday there'll be 40 hours waiting

I'll bust my back right over the hump somehow

By the time the eagle flies on Friday

I'll be setting myself up for another round



Damn the whiskey

For making me feel so good

To hell with the honky tonks for doing what they should

It's the price you pay, but that's ok

Helps a working man get by



That cocktail baby, she just caught me looking a second time

One more shot and I'll be looking for a way to make her mine



Damn the whiskey

To hell with the honky tonks



Damn the whiskey

For making me feel so good

To hell with the honky tonks for doing what they should

It's the price you pay, but that's ok

Helps a working man get by
