Lyrics Demons and Angels - Diamond Rio

He swore it was over and all in his past
A few hours later his hands around a glass
A voice on the left says there's peace in the wine
From the right a voice whispers don't do it this time
When he looks for the answer down in his heart
Demons and angels tear him apart.

She calls his name softly as she lies in their bed
Listens for footsteps, prays for the best
She knows that he loves her, knows that he tries
But if he comes home drinking, she'll leave him tonight
She waits for the answer and cries in the dark
While demons and angels tear him apart.

For so long they fought for his soul,
The whiskey and the woman at home
And they all know he must choose the winner alone.

There's not much that's sweeter than a new life begun
Ain't much that's sadder than a promise undone
He stares at the bottle, longs for her arms
While demons and angels tear him apart.

When he looks for the answer down in his heart
There's demons and angels that tear him apart.

Mmm...
