I hit the road, she hit her knees
I was worried about her dreams,
she was worried about me
I had a bone dry bottle,
she had a worn out Bible
I was in a band, she was in the choir
She saw the lie, and I saw the fire
She was more Ted Revival,
and I was more chasing my jukebox idols
By now I oughta be six feet between
the white ass open and the whiskey
Every road,
every bridge I've burned down No thanks to me it turns out
You can't outrun a mama's amen Even
when you're out here running with the
devil I swear
I'm living proof that you can't kill a prayer
Can't kill a prayer
Yeah I was hard headed,
stubborn as can be Thank God she was more stubborn than me
Bowing her head every night with me on her mind
Had to have heaven working overtime
Cause by now I oughta be six feet between
the white ass open and the whiskey
Every road,
every bridge I've burned down No thanks to me it turns out
You can't outrun a mama's amen Even
when you're out here running with the
devil I swear I'm living proof that you can't kill a prayer
You can't kill a prayer
It's you late night back porch light on red
word reading Faith keeping talking to Jesus,
reason I'm
even breathing By now I oughta be six feet backwards front
page small town history Every road,
every bridge I've burned down
No thanks to me it turns out You can't outrun a mama's amen
Even when you're out here running with the devil I swear
Yeah I'm living proof that you can't kill a prayer
You can't kill a prayer
You can't kill a prayer
You can't kill a prayer
