lyrics

I’ve got your number
from the bathroom wall
Tell them to call
it’s a good time for all

I’ll make this easy for you
Get down on your knees
I’ll help you through

One more confession
One more reason to pray
It takes all our strength
Just to bury our shame

I’ll free your mind of regret
Get ready confess
Bow down your head

Is it your mother again?
She won’t stop preaching
And she won’t stop her prayin

Is she lookin for some kind of change
Or just one more reason to pray?
So bow down your head

Did ya think
she was too young to go
Too old to being staying
Just right to be sold

Through the years
We do what we’re told
And we carry our weight
So heavy we fold

Is it your father again
He scratches tickets
And prays for a win

Is he looking for some kind of change
Or just one more reason to pray?

I hear your sister’s leaving again
She says she loves him
And this time it’s real

No hope of leaving
No reason to stay
Just one more reason to pray

So I bow down my head
