I found you by the fence line
Hands folded in the dirt
You said the dark had names in it
And every name could hurt
The moon hung like a horseshoe
Cold above the bluff
You traced a line through silence
Like you were tying knots
So I knelt beside your shadow
With my boots and my broke down pride
If heaven's listening tonight
Let it hear us from the high
Say a prayer for me say a prayer for me (Say a prayer)
If the road goes mean keep your faith on me
Say a prayer for me say a prayer for me (Say a prayer)
When the angels ride me me on the creep
There was red clay on your fingers
And a tremble in your voice
You said some folks wear glory
Some folks barely get the choice
I lit a match in my palm
Watched it shake and burn
You smiled like you knew the answer
But you still asked for one
So I press my mouth to mercy
Like a bottle to a thorn
If the Lord still keeps watch here
Let him see what we were born
Say a prayer for me say a prayer for me (Say a prayer)
If the road goes mean keep your faith on me
Say a prayer for me say a prayer for me (Say a prayer)
When the angels ride me me on the creep
I don't need gold on the table
I don't need a saintly name
Just a little light for leaving
And a reason not to change
Say a prayer for me say a prayer for me (Say a prayer)
If the road goes mean keep your faith on me
Say a prayer for me say a prayer for me (Say a prayer)
When the angels ride me me on the creep
Say a prayer for me say a prayer for me
When the dust rolls in I'll be halfway there
