Ripe For Growing Lyrics

Well, I sent a prayer on up

To be made a better man

Through the booze and all the late nights I'm told

God has a plan

So I don't mind the hole I've dug myself in

If she says to settle down, well, I'm listening

I wasn't raised the kind, dear

To be made a fool

Never leave my heart open

That was the rule

Then she came around and wrecked everything I know

I'd been living fast till she said take it slow

Well, God, I ain't a good man

I've made more wrongs than rights

But I'm feeling ripe for growing for the first time in my life

So I'll just go on hoping that she is worth the fight

Well, I sent a prayer on up

To be made a better man

So he sent down an angel

To take my hand
