Lyrics

The good book’s on the table and the liquor’s in my glass
I’d pray for forgiveness but I’m too ashamed to ask
It’s the bottle or the bible, which one should I choose?
If I could hear the voice of God, would I know what to do?
 
            CHORUS:
            I want to go to heaven ‘cause hell is where I’ve been
            Matthew, Mark, Luke and John mixed with Gordon’s Gin
            I’m searching for salvation, to feel the Holy Ghost within
            So fill me up with Spirits and wash away, wash away my sins
 
The bottle whispers to me “come on and take a sip
Your pain will all be over, once I pass your lips”
And somewhere in these pages I’m told the answers there
But after all the things I’ve done can He hear my prayers
 
            CHORUS:
            I want to go to heaven ‘cause hell is where I’ve been
            Matthew, Mark, Luke and John mixed with Gordon’s Gin
            I’m searching for salvation, to feel the Holy Ghost within
            So fill me up with Spirits and wash away, wash away my sins
 
            BRIDGE:
            Is it faith hope and love, or a drink to ease the pain
            Do I reach out to Jesus or give into the Devil again?
