John Michael Montgomery - Drunkards Prayer Lyrics

Drunkard's Prayer
(Chris Stapleton/Jameson Clark)

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 with 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, 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

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
