Stumblin'

So I picked a fight with Jesus Christ

Now I'm thinkin' I was wrong

When you pick a fight with the Prince of Peace

You won't last for long

It's a one-lane highway straight to Hell

And I've driven it so many times

You can bet I know it well

He said, "Trust in me, I'm the King of kings

And you, my friend, are in a rut"

But what I was looking for was the king of beers

So I said, "Won't you be my bud"

It's a back-slide spiral, I'm drownin' fast

But if this is my last drownin' chance

You can bet, I'll make it last, can't you see?

I once called you my friend, now I'm stumblin' once again

I'm slurrin' words and I'm bustin' bottles over the heads of saints

And I know it's been so long, but I still see you when you're gone

I still feel the weight of that look upon your face almost every day

Now I'm stumblin' like some drunken preacher

Drooling on his vest

I'm mumblin' like some old proud bum

Who swears he knew him best

It's a back-slide spiral, I'm drownin' fast

But if this is my last drownin' chance

You can bet I'll make it last, can't you see?

I once called you my friend, now I'm stumblin' once again

I'm slurrin' words and I'm bustin' bottles over the heads of saints

And I know it's been so long, but I still see you when you're gone

I still feel the weight of that look upon your face almost every day

God knows it's true and so do you

That something's got to change

But if change is really all around me

I think I'll stay the same

What's the point in change when nothing lasts?

I once could keep myself afloat

But now I'm sinkin' fast, can't you see?

I once called you my friend, now I'm stumblin' once again

I'm slurrin' words and I'm bustin' bottles over the heads of saints

And I know it's been so long, but I still see you when you're gone

I still feel the weight of that look upon your face almost every day

And I once called you my friend, now I'm stumblin' once again

I'm slurrin' words and I'm bustin' bottles over the heads of saints

And I know it's been so long, but I still see you when you're gone

I still feel the weight of that look upon your face almost every day
