Drunkard's Prayer

[Verse 1]

I get drunk and talk to God

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

And I mean every word I say

And I promise I can change

When I get drunk and talk to God

[Verse 2]

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"

And he'll say, "Son, you're on your own"

'Cause when I talk to God I tell him why we're through

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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
