I used to take comfort from the loneliness with whiskey
It tore up my soul and it turned against me
I stood at the fire with my hand on the knife
I didn’t have a prayer
I didn’t have a prayer
I didn’t have a prayer to save my life
I stood at the crossroads with tears in my eyes
I’d come as far as I could bring me, I couldn’t live and I could not die
There was darkness all around me, there was no sun up in the sky
I didn’t have a prayer
I didn’t have a prayer
I didn’t have a prayer to save my life
I wasn’t lookin’ for something to fall from the sky
I’d heard it all before, couldn’t take no more lies
I wasn’t lookin’ for nothin’ but love from the start
So tired of running, so low inside
So tired of running, so low inside
I need to get me, I got to have me, I got to find me a little peace in my heart
I’ve stood in rags blinded by the dust of pride
Poisoned by my own cold, cold heart and the shallow reign of my life
In the distance there was thunder, I saw the lightning strike twice
I threw out a little prayer
I threw out a little prayer
I threw out a little prayer not expecting a reply
