Lyrics Didn't Have a Prayer - Ray Wylie Hubbard

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 the knife
Didn't have a prayer to save my life

I stood at the crossroads with tears in my eyes
I'd come as far as I could bring me
I could not live and I could not die
There was darkness all around me, no sun up in the sky
Didn' t have a prayer to save my life

I wasn't looking for something to fall from the sky
I'd come to believe just what I see with my eyes
I wasn't looking for nothing but love from the start
I need to get me, I got to find me, I got to have me
A little peace in my heart

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
I threw out a little prayer
I threw out a little prayer
Threw out a little prayer, not expecting a reply
