Prayin’ Woman

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'd be a "For Sale" sign on the side of the road I'd be a broke-down heart with a secondhand soul Be a King James dust-covered on a Sunday I'd be a tumbleweed at the will of the wind Goin' halfway to hell and back again I'd be way off, no doubt I'd be a lost cause [Chorus] If it wasn't for a prayin' woman If it wasn't for an angel who believed If it wasn't for the folded-hand "amens" To the Man upstairs talkin' 'bout me Yeah, I'm boots and jeans in a back pew church She's a halo here on Earth Lookin' out for me Lord knows where I'd be If it wasn't for a prayin' woman [Verse 2] Every time I last-second saw the light Yeah, every wrong turn that ended up right Things like that don't just happen I don't wanna imagine [Chorus] If it wasn't for a prayin' woman If it wasn't for an angel who believed If it wasn't for the folded-hand "amens" To the Man upstairs talkin' 'bout me Yeah, I'm boots and jeans in a back pew church She's a halo here on Earth Lookin' out for me Lord knows where I'd be If it wasn't for a prayin' woman [Post-Chorus] If it wasn't for a prayin' woman [Bridge] I'd be a "For Sale" sign on the side of the road I'd be a broke-down heart with a secondhand soul Amen, oh, can I get an "amen"? [Chorus] 'Cause if it wasn't for a prayin' woman If it wasn't for an angel who believed If it wasn't for the folded-hand "amens" To the Man upstairs talkin' 'bout men (Talkin' 'bout me) Yeah, I'm boots and jeans in a back pew church (Back pew church) She's a halo here on Earth (Here on Earth) Lookin' out for me Lord knows where I'd be If it wasn't for a prayin' woman [Outro] Lord knows where I'd be If it wasn't for a prayin' woman Lord knows where I'd be If it wasn't for a prayin' woman
