lyrics

I spoke to God today
Took my breath away
Lord I was bent, but not on knee

Imagine my surprise
When His visage filled my eyes
And He slowly shook His head at me

Figured he might hold a grudge
But he didn't seem to judge
It damn right took me by surprise

Tried to ask Him why you left
But the words caught in my cleft
And the tears welled in my eyes

I found God
In a bottle of whiskey
He said you won't miss me
Now that you're gone
Spoke to God
Said you may have left me
But he won't forget me
When his judgement come

Wish I could somehow say
I saw the light today
But I know myself too well to lie

Lord knows He does as well
Think it puts Him through hell
That I can't look Him in the eye

Silence and solitude
Ran the risk of bein rude
Just didn't have that much to say

And I think He understood
Wouldn't do Him any good
To tell me why you went away

I found God
In a bottle of whiskey
He said you won't miss me
Now that you're gone
Spoke to God
Said you may have left me
But he won't forget me
When his judgement come
No he won't forget me
When his judgement come
