lyrics

The Whiskey Wouldn’t Let Me Pray

I fell in to a bottle and I nearly drowned
I had to fight not to fade away
I tipped it over slow with my broken heart
‘Cause the whiskey wouldn’t let me pray

Let me pray, let me pray
I had to fight so hard not to fade away
‘Cause the whiskey in the bottle wouldn’t let me pray

I swam all the way home through this dirty old town
A bright light to guide the way
Don't wanna get so high, I tell the world goodbye
‘Cause the whiskey wouldn’t let me pray

Let me pray, let me pray
I had a bright light to guide the way
‘Cause the whiskey in the bottle wouldn’t let me pray

In my dreams, I saw a city on a hill
The sun shined all the live long day
There's so much light in this heart of mine
But the whiskey wouldn’t let me pray

Let me pray, let me pray
There’s sun shined all the live long day
But the whiskey wouldn’t let me pray

Let me pray, let me pray
I had a bright light to guide the way
But the whiskey in the bottle wouldn’t let me pray
The whiskey in the bottle wouldn't let me pray
