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 okay   Helps a working man get by      Come Monday there'll be forty 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 okay   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 okay   Helps a working man get by
