Kill A Prayer

I hit the road, she hit her knees I was worried 'bout a dream, she was worried 'bout me I had a bone dry bottle She had a worn-out Bible I was in a band, she was in the choir She saw the light, and I saw the fire She was more tent revival, and I was more chasing my jukebox idols By now I oughta be six-feet Between the wide ass open and the whiskey Every road, every bridge I've burned down No, thanks to me, it turns out You can't outrun a mama's amen Even when you're out here runnin' with the devil, I swear Yeah, I'm livin' proof that you can't kill a prayer Can't kill a prayer Yeah, I was hard-headed, stubborn as can be Thank God she was more stubborn than me Bowin' her head every night with me on her mind Had to have Heaven workin' overtime, 'cause By now I oughta be six-feet Between the wide ass open and the whiskey Every road, every bridge I've burned down No, thanks to me, it turns out You can't outrun a mama's amen Even when you're out here runnin' with the devil, I swear Yeah, I'm livin' proof that you can't kill a prayer You can't kill a prayer Yes, she's late night back porch light on red word readin' Faith keepin', talking to Jesus Reason I'm even breathin' By now I oughta be six-feet Backwoods front page, small town history Every road, every bridge I've burned down No, thanks to me, it turns out You can't outrun a mama's amen Even when you're out here runnin' with the devil, I swear Yeah, I'm livin' proof that you can't kill a prayer (ooh) You can't kill a prayer You can't kill a prayer
