I was born in the south land Grew up rolling stone Working all day in factories Was livin' it all alone I got no friends to call my own No woman to love me My life just seems to be slipping away Thinking about jumping in the sea
I'm gonna keep praying Everything's gonna be alright Keep praying Everything's gonna be alright About a month or so ago I was working in Tennessee Tried to make time with another man's woman And he turned around and tried to shoot me
I guess I'll be on the next train home Or maybe I'll get a plane My life just seems to be slipping away Thinking about jumping in the sea
I'm gonna keep praying Everything's gonna be alright Keep praying Everything's gonna be alright Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do Keep praying Everything's gonna be alright Aahhh
