Pray For Me Lyrics

It's hotter than the devil's hell out here, Won't you say a prayer for me my dear

6 AM in the mornin' sun, 18 hours 'til the day is done

Same damn money after all these years

Can't go home but I won't stay here

Pray for me, Pray for me, My dear

Got a wife, 3 kids and a dog at home

They're all mad at me the reason is unknown

The flames of sun are beating down on me

I wanna stop, quit, run, finally be free

Pray for me, Pray for me, My dear

Thinking back to our younger years

Hearts on fire, had no fears

Brought her home late one night

Her daddy was waitin' with blood shot eyes

Pray for me, Pray for me, My dear

There it sat his loaded shot gun

He looked at me and said run boy run

Oh, I was out the door in a flash

I jumped in my car and slammed on that gas

Pray for me, Pray for me, My dear

The heat is killin' me, I think the end is near

Along time later still thinkin' about you,

Your daddy's shot gun left me black and blue

To this day I still drag my leg

You're probably thinking that I'm dead

Say a prayer for me, My Dear

It's hotter than the devils hell out here

won't you say a prayer for me, My Dear
