Tom Ames\x27 Prayer

歌曲歌詞

Everyone in Nacadoches knew Tom Ames would come to some bad end

Well the sheriff had cought him stealin' chickens and such

By the time that he was ten

And one day his daddy took a ten dollar bill

And he tucked it in his hand

He said I can tell you're headed for trouble son

And your momma wouldn't understand

So he took that money and his brothers old bay

And he left without a word of thanks

Fell in with a crowd in some border town

And took to robbin' banks

Outside the law your luck will run out fast

And a few years came and went

'Till he's trapped in an alley in Abilene

With all but four shells spent

And he realized prayin' was the only thing

That he hadn't ever tried

Well he wasn't sure he knew quite how

But he looked up to the sky

Said you don't owe me nothin' and as far as I know

Lord don't owe nothin' to you

And I ain't askin' for a miracle Lord

Just a little bit of luck will do

And you know I ain't never prayed before

But it always seemed to me

If prayin' is the same as beggin' Lord

I don't take no charity
