DRINKER'S PRAYER TO ST. PAUL

from 13 Weeks by Brad Fielder

/

lyrics

I was down on my knees
As a twelve pack was heaved
When the thought was conceived
I should quit

While the church bells were playing
On the floor, I was laying
And my lips started praying
Like this

Can you help me, St. Paul?
Give your wisdom as I fall
I need your truth and hope
you understand

I'm not a Catholic, I'm a drinker
And a very heavy thinker
Were it not true I would not call
Please help me, St. Paul

As I said my first prayer
Came a scent to the air
It was breakfast prepared
In the kitchen

Tried to stand but I stumbled
Then to my wife I mumbled
From whiskey to water, I'ma switchin'!

Oh, help me, St. Paul!
I'm backed up against this wall
Of bottles and cans and pint glasses
filled to the brim

I need your truth, I need to hear it
Please take the poison out of my spirit
Were it not true I would not call
Please help me, St. Paul
