I was born in the southland Grew up a rollin' stone Workin' all day and night for weeks Was livin' it all alone I got no friends to call my own No woman to love me Now I just seem to be slippin' away Think I'm gonna jump in the sea Ahh, I'm gonna keep prayin' Everythings gonna be all right Keep prayin' everythings gonna be all right About a month or so ago I was workin' in Tennessee Tried to make time with another man's woman And he turned around and tried to shoot me (Yeah he did) I guess I'll be on the next train home Or maybe I'll catch a plane For my life seems to be slippin' away Think I'm gonna go insane Ahh, I'm gonna keep prayin' Everythings gonna be all right Keep prayin' everythings gonna be all right Yes, I do Yes, I do Yes, I do Keep prayin' everythings gonna be all right Keep prayin' everythings gonna be all right All right
