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

When 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

And 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

And he’ll help me if he can

So when I talk to God I thank him for the time

 

(chorus)

 

When I get drunk and talk to God
