| He was a tough kid, high school quitter, from a broken home
|
| Just a Midwest boy, with a dream and a heart of gold
|
| For a steady pay he signed it all on the dotted line
|
| They gave him a gun, said have your fun
|
| And sent him off to die
|
| I got a song and a prayer for the dying
|
| Wherever you go, whatever you do
|
| You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying
|
| I got a song and a prayer for you
|
| She was a high school prom queen, hiding secrets with her smile
|
| She ran away from home, yeah she ran about a million miles
|
| The man told the girl he would put her on the silver screen
|
| She’s never been found, she’s the talk of the town, on the cover of a magazine
|
| I got a song and a prayer for the dying
|
| Wherever you go, whatever you do
|
| You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying
|
| I got a song and a prayer for you
|
| I got a song and a prayer for the dying
|
| Wherever you go, whatever you do
|
| You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying
|
| I got a song and a prayer for you…
|
| I got a song and a prayer for you… |
