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.

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.

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.
