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
