How I Learned to Pray

When I was sixteen, that set of keys was a pair of wings Daddy, pretty please, can I take a ride tonight? I swear I won't get her over fifty-five. Was Back in Black racing through my veins, last thing I thought Was a flip in this thing gonna get me killed. I'm pretty sure my old man will. And seeing his face when the wrecker hauled my freedom away That's how I learned to pray. It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse Some preacher made sure everybody heard Or just some words somebody taught me to say. I was living like I was (?), mama always said It'd take a special girl to get a hold of me, But I never let one get close to me. The man upstairs must've heard her prayer, Cause I looked up, you were standin' there waitin' on me Like you were made for me. And I knew right then and there, I'd been saved And that's how I learned to pray. It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse Some preacher made sure everybody heard Or just some words somebody taught me to say. I can fold my hands and bow my head, But there's just some things that can't be said Without a little walk on water kind of faith. And that's how I learned to pray. Have you ever looked up at the stars in the sky, felt a tug at your heart Didn't know why but you just knew Someone is up there lookin' out for you. Well you know just what I mean when I say Grace. That's how I learned to pray. That's how I learned to pray.
