CAPO I INTRO: 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 cried a million tears CHORUS 1: I'm too tired to fight it, and too ashamed to pray I know the Lord must be bored with the promises I've made So I sit here with my secret thinking no one else can see And I'll just keep it between the devil and me Monday morning here I am hiding bottles in a garbage can I take out the trash and pray no one sees I keep my family in the dark 'cause Lord knows it'd break their hearts To see the rock be so weak I've had a good old Baptist raising, so I've got no good excuse I wish that I was stronger but here's the honest truth CHORUS 1 BRIDGE: I'm hoping for a miracle, I know that I can change No I'm not givin' up, I know there'll come a day, when CHORUS 2: 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
