lirik lagu when mama prayed – buddy jewell
[verse 1]
i was still half drunk and reaching for the bourbon
when my fumbling fingers found that king james version
wasn’t sure if either one could stop the hurting
behind that motel door
[verse 2]
but i picked that bible up and took a good look
got to thinking ’bout my mama and her good book
bet it scared the living h-ll out of the devil
every day when mama prayed
[chorus]
when mama prayed rain fell on thirsty fields
souls got saved, the sick got healed
money came to pay our bills in the nick of time
when the doctor stopped believing
she still led the sunday singing
ten years past the day they sent her home to die
burdens rolled away when mama prayed
[verse 3]
i remembered how she looked at me through sad eyes
just before she closed them for the last time
in a trembling voice she took my hand and said
“son, will you pray with me”
i’d lost all hope, i thought my life was over
lord knows the last time that she’d seen me sober
but i closed my eyes and held on, hoping someday
someway i’d believe that prayer she prayed for me
[chorus]
when mama prayed rain fell on thirsty fields
souls got saved, the sick got healed
money came to pay our bills in the nick of time
when the doctor stopped believing
she still led the sunday singing
ten years past the day they sent her home to die
burdens rolled away when mama prayed
[bridge]
and in that motel room as i relived that moment
i knew my heart had changed like a miracle
of biblical proportions, i’d never be the same
[chorus]
when mama prayed rain fell on thirsty fields
souls got saved, the sick got healed
money came to pay our bills in the nick of time
when the doctor stopped believing
she still led the sunday singing
ten years past the day they sent her home to die
burdens rolled away when mama prayed
[tag]
yeah, that’s how i got saved
’cause mama prayed
