Save A Prayer

Save A Prayer - The Mavericks

Well I'm the kind of man

Who was raised up to believe

The path that takes you through your life

Should be straight as it can be

Well my wondering ways have led to

Some painful memories

Now the Devil's come to take my soul

So won't you save a prayer for me

When I was a younger man I knew I'd see the day

When everything I ever loved would all be swept away

By the moonlit tides that never made a difference to me

Now you better save a prayer for me

So won't you save a prayer

Save a prayer

And show me that somebody out there really cares

Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me

Now you better save a prayer for me

So won't you save a prayer

Save a prayer

And show me that somebody out there really cares

Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me

Now you better save a prayer for me

Well I've been around the world to a place I can't recall

And I've done things that make a mortal man get down and crawl

Now the Devil's got control of what goes on inside of me

Now you better save a prayer for me

So won't you save a prayer

Save a prayer

And show me that somebody out there really cares

Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me

Now you better save a prayer for me

Well I wish that you could see what these tired eyes have seen

For they no longer have a glow of the man that used to be

But there's still a flame inside of me that burns so endlessly

Now the Devil's come to take my soul

So won't you save a prayer for me

Won't you save a prayer

Save a prayer

And show me that somebody out there really cares

Someday you're gonna with that you had walked this way with me

Now you better save a prayer for me

Oh won't you save a prayer

Save a prayer

And show me that somebody out there really cares

Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me

Now you better save a prayer for me

Now you better save a prayer for me

Now you better save a prayer for me
