Pray I Won't Wake Up
I’ve been beaten down since I was born
It's left me full of hate, despite the scorn
And I don’t see no end to this trouble that I’m in
And thats whats got me feeling so forlorn
Each day is a struggle, that tests me or’ again
Life it ain’t no bed of roses, and that's the truth my friend
Now I’d like to run away, but in this life I’m stuck
And each night when I close my eyes, I pray I won’t wake up
My granddaddy was a decent man
But he still took his life with his own hand
When I get feeling down, and there's no one else around
I get scared that I’ll end up like him
Each day is a struggle, that tests me or’ again
Life it ain’t no bed of roses, and that's the truth my friend
And now I’d like to run away, but in this life I’m stuck
And each night when I close my eyes, I pray I won’t wake up
(solo)
I got so much pain built up inside
I can get ahead no matter how I tried
Fear has took its toll on this man and my poor soul
And it's enough to make a grown man cry
Each day is a struggle, that tests me or’ again
Life it ain’t no bed of roses, and that's the truth my friend
And now I’d like to run away, but in this life I’m stuck
And each night when I close my eyes, I pray I won’t wake up
And each night when I close my eyes, I pray I won’t wake up
