You Better Pray Lyrics

One hand on the bottle, one foot in hell

I didn't sell my soul, I was giving it away

Pedal to the floor, going for broke

Blinded by clouds of cigarette smoke

Every dive turned into a bar fight

Caught air in the F150 one night

My life flashed before my eyes

Then I saw the blue light

That cop looked at me and said

Boy, you better pray

I don't see you again after today

You and the devil been playing chase

Have a talk with Jesus before it's too late

Ask him to show you the way

Your next mistake

Might be the last you make

So You better pray

You better pray

One day I sobered up and I got smart

Next day I backslid and busted her heart

Broke apart our happy home

Our love was 'bout to be long gone

Then she looked at me and said

Boy, you better pray

My daddy don't catch up to you one day

You and the devil been playing chase

Have a talk with Jesus before it's too late

Ask him to show you the way

Your next mistake

Might be the last you make

So You better pray

You better pray

I took her advice

Deep down, oh, I knew she was right

I stopped lying to myself

Told my inner demons to go to hell

Looked in the mirror and said

Boy, you better pray

That God will save your soul today

You and the devil been playing chase

Have a talk with Jesus before it's too late

Ask him to show you the way

Your next mistake

Might be the last you make

So You better pray

You better pray

It's amazing grace

I've been saved

He can set you straight

You better pray
