Hey mama, don't save me a seat
It's 10:49, and I didn't get much sleep
I know that I should be there 'cause I'm a God-fearing man
But I know who might be there, so I don't know if I can
I don't know if I can, cause
Ever since the day the good Lord put her in my life
I thanked him every morning and I thanked him every night
But ever since the day that he let her say goodbye
I haven't hit my knees, I bowed my head one time
'Cause right now I don't wanna talk to him
So put me on the prayer list
♪
Hey mama, spot me a 20 in the plate
And sing a little louder when they sing Amazing Grace
And when the preacher asks if anybody out there could use a prayer
Make sure your hands the first one, way up in the air
Ever since the day the good Lord put her in my life
I thanked him every morning and I thanked him every night
But ever since the day that he let her say goodbye
I haven't hit my knees, I bowed my head one time
'Cause right now I don't wanna talk to him
So put me on the prayer list
♪
One day I'll be back on my feet
And this heart will be back from breaking
If I'm ever gonna get over her and ever back to praying
It's gonna take the whole congregation
'Cause ever since the day the good Lord put her in my life (put her in my life)
I thanked him every morning and I thanked him every night
But ever since the day that he let her say goodbye (let her say goodbye)
I haven't hit my knees, I bowed my head one time
'Cause right now I don't wanna talk to him
So put me on the prayer list
Put me on the prayer list, oh
Put me on the prayer list
Hey mama, hmm
Put me on the prayer list
