Bless This Mess

[Verse 1] God bless the man who stumbles God bless the man who falls God bless the man who yields to temptation [Verse 2] God bless the woman who suffers God bless the woman who weeps God bless the children trying her patience [Chorus] Trouble getting over it is what you're in for so pour yourself another 'Cause it'll take a steady pair of hands Holy or unholy ghost well now I can't tell but either way you cut it You should get some distance if you plan To take a stand [Verse 3] God bless the house divided God bless the weeds in the wheat God bless the lamp lit under a bushel [Pre-Chorus] I discovered hell to be the poison in the well So I tried to warn the others of the curse Then my body turned on me, I dreamt that for eternity My family would burn, then I awoke With a wicked thirst [Chorus] By my baby's yellow bed I kissed her forehead and rubbed her little tummy Wondering if she'd soon despise the smell Of the booze on my breath like her mom Through a darkened mirror I have seen my own reflection And it makes me want to be a better man After another drink [Verse 4] God bless the man at the crossroads God bless the woman who still can't sleep God bless the history that doesn't repeat
