They said we had the perfect life
You were the perfect man
I was your perfect wife
But everything that I held dear got lost in the whiskey and beer
And your eyes lost their shine
Baby, don't you miss me?
Can't the devil set your free?
Can't you see that I still love the man behind the whiskey?
Behind the whiskey
Behind the hurt, behind the shame, behind the guilt, and who's to blame
I still love the man behind the whiskey
Throw out the demons that keep you away, lock you up, and shut you down at the end of the day
Turn off the voices. Turn off that song in your head. Put the bottle down, and come on home to me instead
From behind the whiskey
Can't the devil set you free?
Can't you see that I still love the man behind the whiskey?
Behind the whiskey
Behind the hurt, behind the shame, behind the guilt, and who's to blame
I still love the man behind the whiskey
No more useless fights, staying up 'til dawn
No more lonely nights, baby, please come home
Behind the whiskey
Can't the devil set you free?
Can't you see that I still love the man behind the whiskey?
Behind the whiskey
Behind the hurt, behind the shame, behind the guilt, and who's to blame
Behind the hurt, behind the shame, behind the guilt, and who's to blame
I still love the man behind the whiskey
