Mama’s Praying Lyrics by Zach John King
Ain’t walked that line near good as I’m supposed to
Been on the wrong side more times than I’d have hoped to
I’ve drug some love through the dirt
Took some whiskey too far
If I got what I deserved, I’d be alone in the dark
I should be paying harder for my list of mistakes
Lord knows I’ve been down a road that should’ve ended in flames
I was headed for a rock-bottom basement
Somehow, I escaped it
I think my mama’s praying
If she is, then I guess there’s something in her “Amen”
Ain’t too gone for the saving
I think my mama’s praying
I think my mama’s praying
That I keep staying safe in a world that wants to wreck me
That I put it straight in reverse when the devil tries to test me
That I’m on that straight and narrow
God bless her, ’cause if I’m honest I know
I should be paying harder for my list of mistakes
Lord knows I’ve been down a road that should’ve ended in flames
I was headed for a rock-bottom basement
Somehow, I escaped it
I think my mama’s praying
If she is, then I guess there’s something in her “Amen”
Ain’t too gone for the saving
I think my mama’s praying
I think my mama’s praying
I’ve drug some love through the dirt
Took some whiskey too far
If I got what I deserved, I’d still be there in the dark
I should be paying harder for my list of mistakes
Lord knows I’ve been down a road that should’ve ended in flames
I was headed for a rock-bottom basement
Somehow, I escaped it
I think my mama’s praying
If she is, then I guess there’s something in her “Amen”
Ain’t too gone for the saving
I think my mama’s praying
I think my mama’s praying
