I get drunk and talk to God I say I'm sorry for all the things I'm not And 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'll say "I can't be alone" And 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
