Didn’t Have a Prayer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to take comfort from the loneliness with whiskey It tore up my soul and it turned against me I stood at the fire [/fight?] with my hand on a knife I didn't have a prayer I didn't have a prayer I didn't have a prayer to save my life [Verse 2] I stood at the crossroads with tears in my eyes I'd come as far as I could bring me, I couldn't live and I could not die There was darkness all around me, there was no sun up in the sky I didn't have a prayer I didn't have a prayer I didn't have a prayer to save my life [Bridge] I wasn't lookin' for something to fall from the sky I'd heard it all before, couldn't take no more lies I wasn't lookin' for nothin' but love from the start So tired of running, so low inside So tired of running, so low inside I need to get me, I got to have me, I got to find me a little peace in my heart [Verse 3] I've stood in rags blinded by the dust of pride Poisoned by my own cold, cold heart and the shallow reign of my life In the distance there was thunder, I saw the lightning strike twice I threw out a little prayer I threw out a little prayer I threw out a little prayer not expecting a reply
