A Revised Work "Will that lady teach me to Pray?"


Woke up this mornin and I went to work
I decked the boss cause he’s just a jerk
My temper seems to get the best of me
Just don’t give me any sympathy

Stopped by the grocery store today
There stood a lady and I heard her pray
Blessing all who passed that day
What did she really want to say
Selling chocolate bars for pay
Blessing all who passed that way
What did she really say and pray

A bill collector called and woke me up
Said they’re gonna come and take my truck
Smashed the glass as I cussed that sucker out
Took sixteen stitches to sew my right hand up

Stopped by the grocery store today
There stood a lady and I heard her pray
Blessing all who passed that day
What did she really want to say
Selling chocolate bars for pay
Blessing all who passed that way
What did she really say and pray

Flashing lights pulled me over today
I ran a light and I had to pay
A thousand bucks or sixty days
Will that lady teach me to pray

Stopped by the grocery store today
There stood a lady and I heard her pray
Blessing all who passed that day
What did she really want to say
Selling chocolate bars for pay
Blessing all who passed that way
What did she really say and pray

Stopped by the grocery store today
There stood a lady and I heard her pray
Blessing all who passed that day
Please dear lady teach me to pray
Please dear lady help me pray today
Please dear lady help me pray today
