Need a Favor Songtext
von Jelly Roll

I only talk to God when I need a favor
And I only pray when I ain′t got a prayer
So, who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior? Oh
If I only talk to God when I need a favor
But God, I need a favor

I know Amazing Grace, but I ain't been livin′ them words
Swear I spend more Sundays
Drunk off my ass than I have in church
Hardcover King James only been savin' dust on the nightstand
And I don't know what to say
By the time I fold my hands

I only talk to God when I need a favor
And I only pray when I ain′t got a prayer
So, who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior? Oh
If I only talk to God when I need a favor
But God, I need a favor

Amen, amen


Yeah, I owe you more than one
And beggars can′t be choosers
But I'll pay for all I′ve done
Just please, don't let me lose her

I only talk to God when I need a favor
And I only pray when I ain′t got a prayer
So, who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior? Oh
If I only talk to God when I need a favor
But God, I need a favor

Amen, amen
Amen, amen

Hangin' in there, just barely
Throwin′ up prayers, like Hail Mary's
If You're still there, Lord, spare me
Oh my God, oh my God, Hail Mary

Hangin′ in there, just barely
Throwin′ up prayers, like Hail Mary's
If You′re still there, Lord, spare me
Oh my God, oh my God, Hail Mary


I only talk to God when I need a favor
And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
So, tell me, who the hell am I to expect a savior?
When I only talk to God if I need a favor
God, I need a favor

Amen
God, I need a favor, whoa
Amen
