drunkard s prayer

Chris Stapleton

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 to 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 say I can t be alone
He said: 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
And 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
