Cussin’ In My Prayers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Every now and then, you feel a little beat up at the bottom, oh Fresh outta rope and the dope, outta chances too Well, I'm a worn-out, short-fuse man with a bottled-up problem And it all pours out when I start talking with you [Chorus] Now I still bow my head, ask forgiveness for my sin 'Cause you know damn well I have come unhinged But at least I'm hitting my knees, yeah, I'm still checking in This life has got me cussing in my prayers again [Verse 2] I know better, but I can't do no better on a Monday With a bunch of bad news, half-truth crawling under my skin I shouldn't speak to the Lord like a sailor But He knows the shape of the ship I'm in Oh, this life has got me cussing in my prayers again, look out [Chorus] Now I still bow my head, ask forgiveness for my sin 'Cause you know damn well I have come unhinged But at least I'm hitting my knees, yeah, I'm still checking in This life has got me cussing in my prayers again, and again [Bridge] It ain't always "please" and "thank You, sir" before I say "amen" This life has got me cussing in my prayers again [Chorus] Now I still bow my head, ask forgiveness for my sin 'Cause you know damn well I have come unhinged But at least I'm hitting my knees, yeah, I'm still checking in This life has got me cussing in my prayers again Ooh, this life has got me cussing in my prayers again
