Lost Soul’s Prayer

[Verse 1]

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 to that back road, eventually to that back door

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm  out on 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 might as well say it then

I  hope you're listenin'

[Chorus]

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

Forgive me for my sin

Knowin' good and well I'll probably do it again

And be with them 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

[Verse 2]

I can see my mama now and my 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 this shit one more night

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm out on 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 savin' me

[Chorus]

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

Forgive me for my sin

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm out on my own and I'm a little bit faded

And I 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

[Chorus]

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

Forgive me for my sin

Give me the strength to never do it again

And be with them 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

Yeah, I'm just another lost soul

[Outro]

Amen
