While drinking alone in a tavern one day
My eyes they hardly could see
I heard a kind voice ringing so loud and clear
And here is what the voice said to me

Go home ( go home ) go home ( go home )
And kneel by your bedside and pray
Go home ( go home ) go home ( go home )
God will answer your prayer today

I staggered across the room to the door
I almost fell on the floor
I'm sure there was laughter but I could not hear
For the words that still ring in my ear

* Refrain

God sobered my mind and He saved my soul
And he erased my thoughts from all fear
Then back to the tavern I preached of these words
The words that still ring in my ear

* Refrain

The crowd started leaving with heads bowed so low
As the bartender picked up the key
As he locked the door he murmured these words
Was the same words that God spoke to me

* Refrain
