I was brought up in the front row That fire and brimstone Old school reverend, straight and narrow Man I always had a thing for the path less traveled
Fast lane lead to the back road, eventually to that back door
I´m out of my own and I´m a little bit faded Don´t even know if I should even be prayin´ But it´s all in my heart so I mine as well say it now I hope you´re listenin´
Before I lay my head down I pray the Lord my soul to keep I got the Devil on me so Lord I´m prayin´ now you forgive me for my sins Knowin´ good and well I´ll probably do it again And be with the people lookin´ down on me But Lord don´t ever let ´em put their hands on me I turn them lights out, don´t know if you can hear me up there
It´s just another lost soul´s prayer
I can see my mama now and good girl at home They´re both on their knees, both by the phone And I´m the reason for the tears in both their eyes And I´m the reason they´re beggin´ you to just get me through the shit one more night
I´m out of my own and I´m a little bit faded Don´t even know if I should even be prayin´ But if you think there´s somethin´ in me worth savin´ Then I hope you save me
Before I lay my head down I pray the Lord my soul to keep I got the Devil on me so Lord I´m prayin´ now you forgive me for my sins
Knowin´ good and well I´ll probably do it again Tell my girl don´t worry, I´ma be alright Tell my mama I´ma see her when the sun rise I turn them lights out, don´t know if you can hear me up there It´s just another lost soul´s prayer
I´m out of my own and I´m a little bit faded Don´t even know if I should even be prayin´ But if you think there´s somethin´ in me worth savin´ Then I pray you save me
Before I lay my head down I pray the Lord my soul to keep I got the Devil on me so Lord I´m prayin´ now you forgive me for my sins Give me the strength to never do it again
And bow with them people lookin´ down on me But Lord never let ´em put their hands on me I turn them lights out, don´t know if you can hear me up there It´s just another lost soul´s prayer Yeah, I´m just another lost soul
