Ray Wylie Hubbard Didn't Have A Prayer
[Verse 1]
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 [/fight?] with my hand on a knife
I didn't have a prayer
I didn't have a prayer
I didn't have a prayer to save my life
[Verse 2]
I stood at the crossroads with tears in my eyes
I'd come as far as I could bring me, I couldn't live and I could not die
There was darkness all around me, there was no sun up in the sky
I didn't have a prayer
I didn't have a prayer
I didn't have a prayer to save my life
[Bridge]
I wasn't lookin' for something to fall from the sky
I'd heard it all before, couldn't take no more lies
I wasn't lookin' for nothin' but love from the start
So tired of running, so low inside
So tired of running, so low inside
I need to get me, I got to have me, I got to find me a little peace in my heart
[Verse 3]
I've stood in 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
I threw out a little prayer
I threw out a little prayer
I threw out a little prayer not expecting a reply
