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 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 say I can't be alone
He said: 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
And 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
