Jelly Roll – NEED A FAVOR Lyrics

    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 o-o-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 most Sundays, drunk off my ass, than I have in church
    Hard cover 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 o-o-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 o-o-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, woah
    Amen
