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 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
