Gene Watson - Wino's Prayer lyrics

(Dave Kirby (RIP) - L. Kirby) I saw the ole man shuffle down the street His rotten shoes were tied around his feet I saw him stagger just before he fell And heard him mention something about hell. Lord, you know it's raining in my mind And you can turn the water into wine Please, just give me one more second chance Play me something you know I can dance. Chorus: Lord, help me make this day, don't call me home I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own Lord, send me just a half a pint to let me know you care Or this ole wino just won't have a prayer. --- Instrumental --- (Spoken) I was pa**ing by the other day Heard the old man finally pa**ed away. (Sang) Someone said it got him in his prime 'Cause he still had a half a pint of wine. (Spoken) Then I heard him say. Chorus: Lord, help me make this day, don't call me home I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own Lord, send me just a half a pint to let me know you care Or this ole wino just won't have a prayer. Oh, this ole wino just won't have a prayer. (Oh, how sweet the sound...)
