Say a Prayer

Man at the store asked me if I knew Jesus

I said, "I used to, man, but we ain't talked in years"

He offered me a ride to church on Sunday

I said, "I would, man, but Saturday night will interfere"

Sister on the phone called me a degenerate

I said, "That's okay, I'll see you on Thanksgiving"

Even momma's given up hope

Used to call me crying, just made me feel more alone

Say a prayer for me

Everyone including myself knows what I need

But I'm too damn proud to hit my knees

Say a prayer for me

When I'm digging a hole, looking for sun

I wish I knew how to function and still have fun

Say a prayer for me

Sometimes I wipe the dust off that leather

Run my fingers across those red letters

But I never make it past the second verse

Like the songs I write about the dreams I've cursed

Say a prayer for me

Everyone including myself knows what I need

But I'm too damn proud to hit my knees

Say a prayer for me

When I'm digging a hole, looking for sun

I wish I knew how to function and still have fun

Say a prayer for me

Say a prayer for me

And I may find the light someday

But if I'm gonna get there tomorrow

Gonna need some help today

So, say a prayer for me

Everyone including myself knows what I need

But I'm too damn proud to hit my knees

Say a prayer for me

When I'm digging a hole, looking for sun

I wish I knew how to function and still have fun

Say a prayer for me

Say a prayer for me
