Lyrics

Now, I’m sitting here thinking about the way that I’m living
There’s a hundred anxious voices telling me what to do
But the only thoughts that matter in this failing occupation
Are the promises and dreams that I share with you

Say a prayer for me here in this dust and desolation
Say a prayer my love, for everything I’m living through
Say a prayer that we might share another great Kentucky morning
Say a prayer…say a prayer
Say a prayer that I’ll be coming home to you

Now a letter can’t compare to your kiss on Sunday morning
And I swear that there are times when I can hear your gentle voice
These days pass slow like prison time and the nights are unforgiving
I’d fall into your arms if I only had that choice

Say a prayer for me here in this dust and desolation
Say a prayer my love, for every family split in two
Say a prayer that we might share another great Kentucky morning
Say a prayer…say a prayer
Say a prayer that I’ll be coming home to you

Now, I’m sitting here thinking about the way that I’m living
And I question every sacrifice as if it were my own
In the end, we’re all just praying that we see a new tomorrow
As we walk with faith and fear so far from home

Say a prayer for me here in this dust and desolation
Say a prayer my love, for everything I’m living through
Say a prayer that we might share another great Kentucky morning
Say a prayer…say a prayer
Say a prayer that I’ll be coming home to you

Say a prayer…say a prayer…
That I’ll be coming home to you
Say a prayer…say a prayer…
That I’ll be coming home to you
Say a prayer…say a prayer…
That I’ll be coming home to you
