Didn’t Have A Prayer - 2001 Version

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 with my hand on a knife 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 now, I could not live and I could not die There was darkness all around me, no sun in the sky Didn't have a prayer to save my life [Chorus] I wasn't lookin' for an angel to come down from the sky I've come to believe what I see with my eyes I wasn't lookin' for nothin' but love from the start I need to get me, got to find me, I got to have me a little peace in my heart [Verse 3] I stood in spiritual 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 Threw out a little prayer Threw out a little prayer I threw out a little prayer not expecting a reply
