Lyrics

I Tried God

I tried God when I pulled my back
And he ran me over with a Cadillac
I should have known just to leave it alone
I only seek him when my troubles have grown

Bourbon and bible in a paper bag
I?m bended and blinded
Yet without him ain?t too bad

I tried God when I placed a bet
And he burned my finger with a cigarette
I should have known he ain?t the gamblin? kind
If kings beat aces then I?d make him mine

Could it be any different if we opened up our minds
Nobody knows the reason, a little doubt ain?t hard to find

I tried God when I needed a rest
And he banged out thunder and he shook my bed
I should have known I?d be up for the night
I only need him when things ain?t right
