One Last Prayer

Woke up this morning On the wrong side of the road To the sound of my baby Crying “I don’t love you anymore” Bawling her eyes at the sight of me leavin I’d packed up my bags, one foot out the door

In a cold, cold sweat I thought I might be Dreamin Never thought I’d be one to abandon my kid Too chicken to look her in the eye Balkin a bit, it shouldn’t end like this

Feeling like shit I ain’t half the man That my daddy was or my mother raised Quittin on my daughter when the going got Tough All she really wanted was someone to love

I shamed myself on the way out of town Feelin sorry for the man in the mirror Only can blame myself for who I am Always had angels around me just like in Heaven

Stopped at the church for one last prayer God send me a message from way up there

Told me he’d forgive me if I turned around And raised my daughter til I’s buried in the Ground

Bawling out my eyes I’s forgiven
