Parking Lot Prayers Lyrics by Thelma & James
I don’t know why I start getting sad around seven thirty
Don’t know why my sister picks them fights with strangers at the bar
Don’t know why my Papa’s memory is slowly disappearing
Don’t know why them things are the way they are
I’m starting to wonder if there’s even any rhyme or reason
Why even say hello if it all ends in goodbye
And I don’t know why he grabbed the keys when I begged him not to drive
And I don’t know how to watch his mother cry
Damn it throw me a bone
Could you send me a sign
I ain’t gave up yet
But it’s a real thin line
So if you’re in the business to listening
To parking lot prayers tonight
Starting to think that you ain’t there
I dare you to change my mind
I’ve seen way too much bad happen to good people
And what you gotta say about the whole wide world on fire
I’m all but on my knees begging for some shred of light
So if you lose me now don’t say I didn’t try
So if you lose me now don’t say I didn’t try
Damn it throw me a bone
Could you send me a sign
I ain’t gave up yet
But it’s a real thin line
So if you’re in the business to listening
To parking lot prayers tonight
I’m starting to think that you ain’t there
I dare you to change my mind
(Ooo ooo)
(Ooo ooo)
Change my mind
(Ooo ooo change my mind)
Change my mind
(Ooo ooo)
Damn it throw me a bone
Could you send me a sign
I ain’t gave up yet
But it’s a real thin line
So if you’re in the business of listening
To parking lot prayers tonight
I’m starting to think that you ain’t there
I dare you to change my mind
I’m starting to think that you ain’t there
Starting to think that you ain’t there
I dare you to change my mind
