I've been praying all night that the Lord would come
And give me the courage to kind of rise above
The ailments of every day life that come to burden me
Well I pray that the Lord would send his Spirit to me

'Cause when the Spirit gets in me and I'm as bold as a bear
I can speak my mind around anyone and not even care
Won't care what people think of my ideas and my thoughts
'Cause when the Spirit gets in me it comes in pints and draughts

I try to look at the bright side of things, people call that optimism
But my glass is half full of gin and I think that's called alcoholism
And even if it were half empty I think it would diagnosed the same
But I could care less about the glass as long as the Spirit was in the thing

'Cause when the Spirit gets in me and I'm as might as a lion
I can speak my mind around anyone and not worry about lyin'
Won't care what people think of my ideas and my thoughts
'Cause when the Spirit gets in me it comes in bottles and shots

The Lord he will come through
He'll send the Spirit to you
And if you're still not convinced of the powers above
Just come and have a drink with me and I'll show you the Lords love

'Cause when the Spirit gets in me and I'm as drown as a fish
I'll look up at the sky and ask the Lord for one last wish
My mind will be more clear than anyone might have thought
And I'll ask the Lord to spare some change 'cause I spent my last dollar on that 40 I just bought

'Cause when the Spirit gets in me and I'm as strong as a horse
I'll know that things can't get very much worse
Won't care what people think of my ideas and my thoughts
'Cause when the Spirit gets in me it comes in pints and shots and 40s and draughts
And lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of beer
