I ain't had a drink in a month of Sundays
Though you leaving left me sideways
Been on that back road church pew singing old gospel songs
Preachers been preaching about heaven and hell
Jesus and Jack don't mix too well
I got right,
got saved,
I prayed but God knows you're still gone
Last night I met this old Vietnam vet He hit me up for a cigarette
Then he bummed a lot and he offered me a little swig of his Jim Beam
But I'm as dry as I can be I'm as dry as Throgmorton County
I've been buzzing on these neon drinks and Marlboro nicotine
But I'm riding high and I'm laying low
And I'm hanging on for my dear soul
All those prayers you prayed paid off And I just wanted you to know
That I saw the light at that revival
I gave up the bottle for the Bible
But this heartache is 90 proof And that's the sober truth
I swear that's the sober truth I can't go back and un-drink the wrong
Your reason for leaving's whiskey strong
I know it took losing you for me to find
The good book on the nightstand Amazing grace how sweet to sound
I was lost but now I'm down Since you're nowhere to be found
Now that I'm a bitter man But I'm riding high and I'm laying low
And I'm hanging on for my dear soul
All those prayers you prayed paid off
And I just wanted you to know That I saw the light at that revival
I gave up the bottle for the Bible But this heartache is 90 proof
And that's the sober truth Yeah that's the sober truth
So go fill your cup then raise them up
Y'all make a toast then throw them back
And everyone drink one for me In memory of the fool I used to be
But now he ain't me
Cause I'm riding high and I'm laying low
And I'm hanging on for my dear soul
All those prayers you prayed paid off
And I just wanted you to know That I saw the light at that revival
I gave up the bottle for the Bible But this heartache is 90 proof
Cause God knows I still love you And that's the sober truth
Yeah that's the sober truth But this heartache's 90 proof
I swear that's the sober truth But God knows you're still gone
