Ray Wylie Hubbard - Didn't Have A Prayer - 2001 Version lyrics

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 a knife
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 now
I could not live and I could not die
There was darkness all around me
No sun in the sky
Didn't have a prayer to save my life

I wasn't lookin' for an angel to
Come down from the sky
I've come to believe what I see with my eyes
I wasn't lookin' for nothin' but
Love from the start
I need to get me, got to find me
I got to have me a little peace in my heart

I stood in spiritual 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
Threw out a little prayer
Threw out a little prayer
I threw out a little prayer
Not expecting a reply
