I was brought up in the front row That fire and brimstone Old school reverend, straight and narrow Man I always had a thing for the path less traveled Fast lane lead to the back road, eventually to that back door
I'm out of my own and I'm a little bit faded Don't even know if I should even be prayin' But it's all in my heart so I mine as well say it now I hope you're listenin'
Before I lay my head down I pray the Lord my soul to keep I got the Devil on me so Lord I'm prayin' now you forgive me for my sins Knowin' good and well I'll probably do it again And be with the people lookin' down on me But Lord don't ever let 'em put their hands on me I turn them lights out, don't know if you can hear me up there It's just another lost soul's prayer
I can see my mama now and good girl at home They're both on their knees, both by the phone And I'm the reason for the tears in both their eyes And I'm the reason they're beggin' you to just get me through the shit one more night
I'm out of my own and I'm a little bit faded Don't even know if I should even be prayin' But if you think there's somethin' in me worth savin' Then I hope you save me
Before I lay my head down I pray the Lord my soul to keep I got the Devil on me so Lord I'm prayin' now you forgive me for my sins Knowin' good and well I'll probably do it again Tell my girl don't worry, I'ma be alright Tell my mama I'ma see her when the sun rise I turn them lights out, don't know if you can hear me up there It's just another lost soul's prayer
I'm out of my own and I'm a little bit faded Don't even know if I should even be prayin' But if you think there's somethin' in me worth savin' Then I pray you save me
Before I lay my head down I pray the Lord my soul to keep I got the Devil on me so Lord I'm prayin' now you forgive me for my sins Give me the strength to never do it again And bow with them people lookin' down on me But Lord never let 'em put their hands on me I turn them lights out, don't know if you can hear me up there It's just another lost soul's prayer Yeah, I'm just another lost soul
