Well I'm the kind of man
who was raised up to believe
The path that takes you through your life
Should be straight as it can be
Well my wondering ways
have led to some painful memories
Now the devil's come to take my soul
So won't you save a prayer for me
When I was a younger man
I knew I'd see the day
When everything
I ever loved would all be swept away
By the moonlit tides that never
made a difference to me
Now you better save a prayer for me
So won't you save a prayer save a prayer
And show me that somebody
out there really cares
Someday you're gonna wish that you
had 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 get down and crawl
Now the devil's got control of
what goes on inside of me
Now you better save a prayer for me
So won't you save a prayer save a prayer
And show me that somebody
out there really cares
Someday you're gonna wish
that you had 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 a glow of
the man that used to be
But there's still a flame inside of
me that burns so endlessly
Now the devil's come to take my soul
So won't you save a prayer for me
Won't you save a prayer save a prayer
And show me that somebody
out there really cares
Someday you're gonna with
that you had 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
Someday you're gonna wish that you
had walked this way with me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Now you better save a prayer for me
Now you better save a prayer for me
