Song Information:

This song came to me as I was driving my car to work. Ever write lyrics while driving? Had to be dibinely inspired. I'm still alive!
I'm not sure I get this spiritual when I pray!

Lyrics:
Next to God

One (G) day -- I sat down next to (C) God
There (F) were no other (C) seats -- left at the (G) bar
He (G) looked and said he'd buy my next (C) beer
I (F) looked right back and (C) told him, put er (G) there

I asked what brings him all the way to Milford
He laughed and told me -- once in a while
He likes to take a load off -- kick back easy
Well, I just shook my head and I smiled

I told Him, Lord, I know just how you feel
Lately, I can't get out of my own way
Don't get me wrong, I'm as grateful as can be
For all the good stuff that you've given me.

But, I (F) say things and I feel no one is (C) listening,
And (F) when they do, they twist it up in (C ) knots
A (Am) little break, another chance, that's (F) all Lord
An easing of my stress by and (G) by

He looked up at the TV, -- said Hey we're winning
I looked up, grinned and gave him a high five
He said, why don't you pick up your guitar and join me
N I followed him right up onto the stage

God plays a Martin D style don't you know it
Scratched up a bit so you know it's been around
We harmonized on old tunes for a warmup
Then He sat -- and let me play my song for Him

Closed my eyes, my fingers started walking
Down and up the fretboard while I sang
When I was done he stood up and applauded
Walked up and shook my hand, then he was gone

I felt so light inside, a kind of giddy
As I packed my axe and headed out the door
Walked down the street A little different

Cause tonight,

I sat down next to God
