We've all been there a time or two
Hangin' on just to make it through
Heartache always looks for something new
Lot of places that you can hide
But you can't run from a troubled mind
It goes with you every time
Yeah, that's why
I sat on bar stools and church pews
Tryin' to forget you
Sometimes it looks like praying
Sometimes it's hundred-proof
It leads to late-night calls when it shouldn't
Or beggin' the good Lord to get me through it
Never knew which one I was headed to
A bar stool or church pew
Yeah, I've seen it a hundred times
I've lived it more than I've liked
Stuck in between this growin' and grief
And it's tearing me up inside
Wish there was something I could do
To pull me out of this groove
Cuz gridin' these gears it just won't do
I sat on bar stools and church pews
Tryin' to forget you
Sometimes it looks like praying
Sometimes it's hundred-proof
It leads to late-night calls when it shouldn't
Or beggin' the good Lord to get me through it
Never knew which one I was headed to
A bar stool or church pew
I'm a man divided
And I'm too tied to fight it
Torn between who I should be
And turnin' to my vices
I ain't done believin'
But it's war with faith and feelings
So while I wait on healing
I'll be on bar stools and church pews
Tryin' to forget you
Sometimes it looks like praying
Sometimes it's hundred-proof
It leads to late-night calls when it shouldn't
Or beggin' the good Lord to get me through it
Never knew which one I was headed to
A bar stool or church pew
Trying to forget you
