My Only Prayer |
| Well I’m a country boy |
| I’m outta place, turned city bum |
| A good day to me is gettin' by |
| I walk a city mile without ever seein' the sun |
| There’s no need to reach for stars |
| When you can’t see the sky |
| Well, it’s a god forsaken city, I’m so called livin' in |
| We’re tryin' to keep from dyin' in it seems |
| Hope I never have to learn to breathe this dirt, death and sin |
| Here and now it’s just my prison, but someday is my dream |
| Someday I’ll go back to Kentucky |
| And breathe that cool green river air |
| I hope and pray that I’ll get lucky |
| And go back to God’s country |
| That’s my only prayer |
| I try to find a friendly face, to help me pass some time |
| But I think I left them all in my hometown |
| And I’d lay down in some green grass and ease my clouded mind |
| But these crowded streets go on and on and I can’t find the ground |
| The wind blows off the freight yard |
| Sings a lonesome chord |
| Hung me like a cheap souvenir |
| There’s a man down by the mission says do you wanna know the Lord? |
| Yes, I wanna know him, but I don’t believe he’s here |
