As we go walking.... through valleys deep
Filled with confusion...Deprived of sleep
We must be grateful .....And never hateful
cuz as for blessings.....We have a plate full
Our dreams forsake us.....or so it seems
Our nightmares take us...to lands unseen
U might be flying.........U might be sinking
No need for crying..........No sense in thinking
And if you stumble .... and if you fall
And if it feels like...you got fuck all
One thing I'm sure of......No doubt about it
God hears the drunken prayers the loudest.
I've roamed and rambled throughout my life
And i have often pissed off my wife
But she still loves me although I'm guilty
of crimes that now seem puerile and filthy
And if you falter ...and if you fail
And if it seems like...you just can't deal
I've got a secret...Can't live without it
God hears the drunken prayers the loudest.
Sittin in a pew
With a wafer and a wine
Nothin left to lose but my soul
It’s just a journey......It's plain to see
Call your attorney....They will agree
As we tread water....There is no order
Just ride the current....Like lambs to slaughter
And if you struggle.....And if you steal
And if it feels like....Shit's gettin real
And the Lord has screwed you....I highly doubt it
God hears the drunken prayers the
loud—est!!!!!
If u got problems.....And u got beer
And feel like bending.....Jehovah'z ear..
If you need a miracle.....No need to shout it
God hears the drunken prayers
God hears the hammered prayers
God hears the plastered prayers
God hears the drunken prayers...................
The loudest.
God forgive you... go in peace.
