Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been shut out
Of many places
I seen pure evil
In many faces
Stared down the barrel
Of a .45
The only reason
I did not die
Somebody up there
Somebody up there
Somebody up there
Must like me
[Verse 2]
Louisiana girl
Made my dreams come true
I was just a boy
But I knew what to do
She held me close
And I held her tight
I told myself
Walkin' home that night
Somebody up there
Somebody up there
Somebody up there
Must like me
[Verse 3]
I told my tale
All I can tell
I prayed to Heaven
When I felt like hell
I fight my demons
Like, every day
But I believe
Buddy will be okay
Somebody up there
Somebody up there
Somebody up there
Must like me
[Verse 4]
Somebody up there
Somebody up there
Must like me
Somebody up there must be thinkin' about me
Somebody lookin' down on me
Somebody
