The Plea

[Verse 1] Mama, this highway's gonna kill me And mama, I think my rose is wilting The kids and her alone while I'm so far away from home I feel so guilty Mama, this highway's gonna kill me I hope the road that takes me there will always bring me back But I guess whatever will be, will be Mama, this highway's gonna kill me [Verse 2] Woman, I wish I wouldn't hurt you And woman, It's clear I don't deserve you I know it seems I only need you when I ain't got nowhere else to turn to So woman, I wish I wouldn't hurt you I'm sure there's some relief in giving up and moving on And sometimes it seems way too much to work through Woman, I never meant to hurt you [Bridge] Lord, I beg of you, protect me Lately, swear the devil's out to get me It ain't a leap of faith to say he always preys upon the unsuspecting So Lord, I beg of you, protect me [Outro] I can't walk with you if the devil's got my hand I hope you have my back and direct me Jesus, I beg of you, protect me Oh Jesus, don't let 'em get me
