He's got hay to bale and fields to plough
While the Texas sun bores down
In the back of his mind, there's a restless wind
That's takin' him somewhere now
Some sweet day, when the bank man's paid
And the land is finally his
He turns his eyes to heaven
He's learned how to live
On a wing and a prayer
He's gonna ride that dream
And the devil may care
Whatever the odds may be
Sometimes it takes a leap of faith
To keep your hopes up there
You're flyin' high
On a wing and a prayer
There's a job in town he keeps turnin' down
That'll keep the wolf from the door
But he does what's right, and he sleeps at night
Dreamin' of so much more
Of a thousand miles, corn so high
It stretches on forever
His family there beside him
He held it all together
On a wing and a prayer
He's gonna ride that dream
And the devil may care
Whatever the odds may be
Sometimes it takes a leap of faith
To keep your hopes up there
You're flyin' high
On a wing and a prayer
Oh, on a wing and a prayer
He's gonna ride that dream
And the devil may care
Whatever the odds may be
Sometimes it takes a leap of faith
To keep your hopes up there
You're flyin' high
On a wing and a prayer
(Wing and a prayer)
(Wing and a prayer)
On a wing and a prayer
(Wing and a prayer)
(Wing and a prayer)
On a wing and a prayer
(Wing and a prayer)
(Wing and a prayer)
On a wing and a prayer, yeah, yeah
(Wing and a prayer)
(Wing and a prayer)
(Wing and a prayer)
