They both know a man in trouble when they see one
 
 And they're both willing to listen when he talks
 
 Anger and depression, tearful confessions
 
 Jesus and bartenders hear it all
 
 Jesus and bartenders hear it all
 
  
  Well, they hear things that men don't tell their wives
 
 Sinful secrets whiskey brings to light
 
 One man offers comfort from the cross
 
 The other only comfort on the rocks, but
  
 
 They both know a man in trouble when they see one
 
 And they're both willing to listen when he talks
 
 Anger and depression, tearful confessions
 
 Jesus and bartenders hear it all
 
 Jesus and bartenders hear it all
  
 
 Well, if you're at the end of your rope
 
 Either one will serve you but just one offers hope
  
 
 They both know a man in trouble when they see one
 
 And they're both willing to listen when he talks
 
 Anger and depression, tearful confessions
 
 Jesus and bartenders hear it all
 
 Jesus and bartenders hear it all
