Lyrics
I?m Prayin? Like Hell
Now you?ve been naggin? me for weeks
That I should hear your preacher preach
But I?d rather stay at home and watch the game
I?ll pour a beer in my Cowboy?s cup
Then I?ll turn the volume up
?cause all your naggin? drives me insane
?round dinner time I noticed you weren?t home
I looked around and all your things were gone
Now I?m prayin? like hell that you?ll come back to me
You?ll find me with the good book on my knees
I beg the Lord to be forgivin?
Without you life ain?t worth livin?
So I?m prayin? like hell that you?ll come back to me
So when the playoffs were finally over
I got scrubbed up and went on over
To hear just what that preacher had to say
Then I saw you up there singin?
And I saw the light and got the feelin?
That this might be the place I need to be
Now I can?t believe the good friends I have found
You even told me you might come around
CHORUS
The dishes they?re all stacked up so high in the sink
And this great big pile of laundry is starting to stink
I?m getting tired of eating pizza
Come on home I really need ya
CHORUS
Now I?m prayin? like hell that you?ll come back to me
You?ll find me with the good book down here on my knees
I beg the Lord to be forgivin?
Least? til the start of baseball season
So I?m prayin? like hell that you?ll come back to me
