Alone at the bar As I finished the show I caught his eye and he nodded ‘Hello’ I watched as he drained the last slug from his glass Ordered another, and muttered ‘Hey Lord, kiss my *** He wasn’t a drunkard or some down and out Just a good guy who needed to let the pain out So I packed my guitar And pulled up a stool His tears filled his shot glass Then he said ‘I can see you’re no fool’ But I lost her today I watched her slip away, I cried as she tried, but she couldn’t hang on. Then she closed her eyes, And I had to say goodbye There should be some other way But I’m too alone and he cried ‘Lord,take me instead or take me too There’s nothing much that I ever ask of you But I’m down on my knees It’s all I can do So take me instead Or take me too I don’t believe in a Higher plan There’s nobody up there God’s just a man And I’m sorry to burden you But I lost my girl today And you’ve got a kind face Then I cried when he told me Just what he’d said ‘Lord,take me instead or take me too There’s nothing much that I ever ask of you But I’m down on my knees It’s all I can do So take me instead Or take me too Take me instead Or take me too

Take Me Instead
Alone at the bar As I finished the show I caught his eye and he nodded ‘Hello’ I watched as he drained the last slug from his glass Ordered another, and muttered ‘Hey Lord, kiss my *** He wasn’t a drunkard or some down and out Just a good guy who needed to let the pain out So I packed my guitar And pulled up a stool His tears filled his shot glass Then he said ‘I can see you’re no fool’ But I lost her today I watched her slip away, I cried as she tried, but she couldn’t hang on. Then she closed her eyes, And I had to say goodbye There should be some other way But I’m too alone and he cried ‘Lord,take me instead or take me too There’s nothing much that I ever ask of you But I’m down on my knees It’s all I can do So take me instead Or take me too I don’t believe in a Higher plan There’s nobody up there God’s just a man And I’m sorry to burden you But I lost my girl today And you’ve got a kind face Then I cried when he told me Just what he’d said ‘Lord,take me instead or take me too There’s nothing much that I ever ask of you But I’m down on my knees It’s all I can do So take me instead Or take me too Take me instead Or take me too
