Bobby Pinson - If I Met God Tonight Lyrics

If I met God tonight Id slap him High Five
For not letting Tess Fletcher stay in love with me
It seemed like the end of the world at the time
But what a blessing her good byes turned out to be

While I had his attention I guess Id apologize
For cursing his name the night my little cousin died
Its just an amazing grace was such a small conciliation
For him taking her from us before her time

Who am I to say what’s wrong or what’s best
Just like yesterday with whiskey on my breath
The devil on my back and a stack of regrets
Id like to get off of my chest
If I met God tonight

Id pay him back that twenty
I found on the ground when I didn’t have a penny
A gift heaven sent that went straight to a bookie
That took me for a ride that cost me plenty

Who am I to say what’s wrong or what’s best
Just like yesterday with whiskey on my breath
The devil on my back and a stack of regrets
That Id like to get off of my chest
If I met God tonight

It would make my momma proud
Lord know that she has had her doubts about
The way I’ve lived my life
With the jury still out

But who am I to say what’s wrong or what’s best
Just like yesterday with whiskey on my breath
The devil on my back and a stack of regrets
That Id like to get off of my chest
If I met God tonight
Id slap him High five knowing the devil had big plans for me
