Say A Little Prayer For Me
Don’t you dare with me

Just got the news
Grandaddy passed (past)
Like the best of my days
Those dreams never seem to last, no
I call you
To fall through
And talk to
When out blue
I remember that you’re gone too
The sun is setting on our best days
Regret pains and sets stained
Like kids rolling in the grass now
So I kicked the habit
But I’m still an addict
And it’s days like this
That make me want to get back at it

So say a little prayer for me
No don’t you dare with me

So why try?
When I lie
Awake nights
And I cry
The tears are filling up their glasses
You know I’m hopeless
Do you think they notice?
Can you keep it on the low?
No nobody has to know this
So say a little prayer
“There, there...
Take care
I laid bare
Not for the fanfare
But out of habit
Because I’m still an addict
And it’s days like this
That make me want to get back at it

So say a little prayer for me
Don’t you dare with me
