Well, I'm the kind of man who was raised up to believe
In a path that takes you through your life
Should it be straight as it can be
Well, my wandering ways have led me to
Some painful memory
Now the devil's come to take my soul
So won't you save a prayer for me
When I was a young man I knew I'd see the day
When everything I ever loved would all be swept away
All the moonlit tides have never made a difference to me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Oh, won't you save a prayer, save a prayer
And show me that somebody out there really cares
Cause I'm never gonna wish that you walked this way with me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Oh, won't you save a prayer, save a prayer
And show me that somebody out there really cares
Cause I'm never gonna wish that you walked this way with me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Well, I've been around the world to a place I can't recall
And I've done things that make a mortal man kneel down and crawl
Now the devil's got control of what is on inside of me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Oh, won't you save a prayer, save a prayer
And show me that somebody out there really cares
Cause I'm never gonna wish that you walked this way with me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Well, I wish that you could see what these tired eyes have seen
For they no longer have the glow of the man that he used to be
But there's still a flame inside of me
Oh, that burns so endlessly
Now the devil's come to take my soul
Oh, won't you save a prayer for me
Oh, won't you save a prayer, save a prayer
And show me that somebody out there really cares
Cause I'm never gonna wish that you walked this way with me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Oh, won't you save a prayer, save a prayer
And show me that somebody out there really cares
Cause I'm never gonna wish that you walked this way with me
Oh, now you better save a prayer for me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Now you better save a prayer for me
