[Verse 1]

It's a sticky situation

That I've gotten myself into

Same old obligation

Has got me torn between this ol' bottle and you

And I'll probably choose the drinkin'

So you're probably gonna pack your bags

Spend a few lonely hours thinkin'

Before you, you come running back beggin' me

[Chorus]

To be a little stronger

To stay sober longer

Not to let you down

Must these demons haunt me?

And lay their wicked burdens on me

Lord won't you show me

How to put the bottle down

I'll put the bottle down

[Verse 2]

Another bourbon vacation

Has got me crawling on the floor

And I'm in no condition

To say a word when she comes walking through the door

The color starts fadin'

When I hear her crying up and down the hall

As I drift away I can feel her prayin'

Saying Lord will you show him heaven

After all the hell he's been through

[Chorus]

I can I be a little stronger

And not make her wonder

When I'm going to let her down

Must these demons haunt me?

And lay their wicked burdens on me

And Lord won't you show me how to put the bottle down

Can I be a little stronger

And not make her wonder

When I'm going to let her down

Must these demons haunt me?

And lay their wicked burdens on me

And Lord won't you show me how to put the bottle down

Lord I wontcha help me to be

Just a little stronger

And to stay sober longer

And not to let her down

Must these demons haunt me?

And lay their wicked burdens on me

Ooh lord won't you show me how

To put the bottle down
