[Verse 1]
My daddy picked his poison, 'cause I guess that it fulfilled him
Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey, and I guess that that's what killed him
I never touched the stuff until last night, he was on my mind
I met the devil in a bottle of bourbon for the very first time
[Chorus]
Last night I met the devil in a bottle of Jim Beam, and he told me
He said son your daddy's with the Lord, because he'd never known me
You better leave that stuff alone, it'll send you to an early grave
Last night I met the devil in a bottle of Jim Beam, I was saved
[Verse 2]
Said that stuff will make you do things you never would, tell things you'd never tell
It'll make all your loved ones go away, and your life a living hell
The day your daddy got back from the war was the day that you lost him
And the day your mama left him son, was the last nail in his coffin
[Chorus]
Last night I met the devil in a bottle of Jim Beam, and he told me
He said son your daddy's with the Lord, because he'd never known me
You better leave that stuff alone, it'll send you to an early grave
Last night I met the devil in a bottle of Jim Beam, I was saved
[Outro]
Last night I met the devil in a bottle of Jim Beam, and I was saved
