Stumblin'

So I picked a fight with Jesus Christ, now I'm thinkin' I was wrong
'Cause 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 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

I once called you my friend, now I'm stumblin' once again
I'm slurrin' words & bustin' bottles over the heads of saints
I know it's been so long, but I still see you when your 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

I once called you my friend, now I'm stumblin' once again
I'm slurrin' words and bustin' bottles over the heads of saints
I know it's been so long, but I still see you when your 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 & bustin' bottles over the heads of saints
I know it's been so long, but I still see you when your gone
I still feel the weight of that look upon your face almost every day.
