Save A Prayer

Well I'm the kind of man who was raised up to believe The path that takes you through your life Should be straight as it can be Well my wondering ways have led to some painful memories Now the devil's gonna take my soul So won't you save a prayer for me When I was a younger man I knew I'd see the day When everything I ever loved would all be swept away By the moonlit tides that never made a difference to me No you better save a prayer for me So won't you save a prayer Save a prayer And show me that somebody out there really cares Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me Now you better save a prayer for me Well I've been around the world to a place I can't recall And I've done things that make a mortal man get down and crawl Now the devil's got control of what goes on inside of me Now you better save a prayer for me So won't you save a prayer Save a prayer And show me that somebody out there really cares Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me Now you better save a prayer for me Well I wish that you could see what these tired eyes have seen For they no longer have a glow of the man that used to be But there's still a flame inside of me that burns so endlessly Now the devil's come to take my soul So won't you save a prayer for me So won't you save a prayer Save a prayer And show me that somebody out there really cares Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me Now you better save a prayer for me Oh won't you save a prayer Save a prayer And show me that somebody out there really cares Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me Now you better save a prayer for me Now you better save a prayer for me Now you better save a prayer for me --- Save a Prayer - The Mavericks
