Everybody Talks To God

(álbum: Frayed At Both Ends - 2022)

He was saying grace
Over a Tuesday blue-plate special
When the man in the next booth said
"Don't you watch TV?"
Don't you know that God's a myth?
I hate to see you waste your breath
'Cause there ain't no use talking
To a ghost that don't exist

The praying man said, "Amen"
And looked up from his plate
And said, "You may not talk to God right now
But there's gonna come a day"

'Cause whether you're a farmer in the field
Praying for the rain
Or you curse Him at the gravesite
'Cause He called a loved one's name
You can thank Him, you can blame Him
Either way, you're gonna face Him
Whether you believe in Him or not
'Cause, in the end, everybody talks to God

The man in the booth went quiet
'Cause he didn't have a comeback
So he shrugged it off and paid his tab
Then shuffled out the door
And the praying man, he prayed
For the man who drove away
Hoping he would see the light
Before it got too late

But how was he to know
He touched a non-believers soul
Who got that conversation
Two red lights down the road

'Cause whether you're a farmer in the field
Praying for the rain
Or you curse Him at the gravesite
'Cause He called a loved one's name
And you can thank Him, you can blame Him
Either way, you're gonna face Him
Whether you believe in Him or not
'Cause, in the end, everybody talks to God
Everybody talks to God

You can thank Him, you can blame Him
Either way, you're gonna face Him
Whether you believe in Him or not
In the end, everybody talks to God
Everybody talks to God
We all talk to God
Everybody talks to God
