Billy Joe Shaver - Light A Candle For Me lyrics

Would you light a candle for me, babe? Even though I have done done you wrong If I called you up around midnight Would you pray with me on the phone? I recall the winters we weathered I felt your heart beat with mine You pulled me so deeply inside you Our bodies so sweetly entwined You know it hurt me to hurt you But I felt my deal goin' down Now I'm hung in the hooks of the highway I'm gone and I can't turn around These devils out here done took me 'Cause they know that I's a good hearted man It's too late to pray for my life now But my soul can be saved by your hands Would you light a candle for me, babe? And don't snuff it out 'til the dawn When that gamey **** stops his crowin' My soul'll come winging back home Like a deaf man gazin' sadly At a blind man singin' his song There's a world of difference between us But the grace of God makes us one Would you light a candle for me, babe?
