I'd give anything to make this day stop talkin' And make this job stop takin' more than it gives
Sometimes it feels like I might just start walkin' Convince myself, this ain't no way to live
* Lord get me to the first glass of wine And I promise you from now on every time
That I'll raise that bottle I will follow it up With the greatest prayer for you that I can find
Lord if you can get me to the first glass of wine
Lord please grant me all the patience Know that I can't change my lover's mind (Lover's mind)
That no matter what trouble that I won't pour a double I swear that I'll just go on out of town
And I promise by the second one I'll turn the other cheek
And by the third one I'll come to see you every single week
And if there's a fourth one I'll get down on my knees
Lord if you just get me to the first glass of wine
