[Verse 1]
Our hands were folded, eight-years-old
Heads were bowed and eyes were closed
Just as I am, soft and low
The invitation hittin' close to home
[Verse 2]
Yeah, and just like it was yesterday
I hear ol' pastor Billy say
"To get to Heaven, there's just one way"
So I walked down the front and I got saved
And I still remember how to pray
[Verse 3]
At 'round about seventeen
You couldn't tell me anything
I hit the road to chase a dream
To say the lеast, times were lеan
[Verse 4]
Tip jars, empty bars
Backseat sleepin', beat-up cars
Livin' fast and runnin' hard
But even in the mix of messes made
I still remember how to pray
[Chorus]
Forgive me, I know I'm not perfect
But Heaven knows I know someone who was
And sometimes when everything is workin'
I look up and thank Him just because
Sometimes, I forget and that's okay
I still remember how to pray
[Bridge]
Yeah, there's a lot of faces and places
That my memory can't recall
Some disappear in phases and stages
And some don't disappear at all
[Chorus]
Forgive me, I know I'm not perfect
But Heaven knows I know someone who was
And sometimes when everything is workin'
I look up and thank Him just because
Sometimes, I forget and that's okay
Yeah, every now and then, I lose my way
But I still remember how to pray
[Outro]
Well, now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
I still remember how to pray
How to pray
