drunkard's prayer

when i get drunk and talk to god

i say i'm sorry for all the things i'm not

i mean every word i say and i promise i can change

when i get drunk and talk with god

when i talk to god i tell him why we're through

i tell him all the things i did and didn't do

i'll say i can't be alone

he'll say son you're on your own

'cause when i talk to god i tell him why we're through

i wish that i could go to church but i'm too ashamed of me

i hate the fact it takes a bottle to get me on my knees

and i hope he'll forgive the things you ain't forgot

when i get drunk and talk to god

when i talk to god i thank him for the time

all those precious years that you were mine all mine

i know he's a busy man he'll help me if he can

so when i talk to god i thank him for the time

i wish that i could go to church but i'm too ashamed of me

i hate the fact it takes a bottle to get me on my knees

and i hope he'll forgive the things you ain't forgot

when i get drunk and talk to god

oh when i get drunk and talk to god
