Well, as I stare into this mirror to see what I've become
Can I ask you for forgiveness from the foolish things that I've done?
You're at war with your demons, they're messin' with your head
Now you've crawled inside that bottle, to forget the world instead
And now you're lonely
Going down the Devil's River
Well, now you're lonely
Going down the Devil's River
Well, now look at all I've given up to keep you satisfied
And I wish I had a nickel for every time that you lied
You were cold in the beginning, you soon went bad to worse
Yeah, your life was pushed aside and all your enemies came first
Now you're lonely
Going down the Devil's River
When you look out from your mirror, can you see what you've become?
Well, now you're lonely,
Going down that river, down that river
Yeah, the good and the evil -- they live inside your head
You used to fight temptation, but you've given up instead
Your habit is your prison, that bottle is your friend
You try to reach the shore, but turn around before it ends
Rollin' down the Devil's River
'Cause you're lonely, you're so lonely
You're rollin' down the Devil's River
'Cause you're lonely, you're so lonely
Lonely, going down that river
Oh-now you're lonely
Going down that river
Going down, you're going down
Oh, now you're lonely
Going down the Devil's River
Well now you're lonely
OH!
Going down the Devil's River
