Little R.o.c. - Nine I Need A Prayer lyrics

Verse 1 I got an interview right around noon Hoping that I can get a job real soon I know this old beat up chevy truck Is getting tired of riding on fumes I been smoking on the good stuff And sippiping on the good wine And I hope they dont ask me to piss in a cup Cause I done already crossed the line Im searching for the answers and Im living on a prayer And when the lonely nights get hard to bear I wish somebody else was there I need someone to call on But I cant afford a phone And when I made it back from the bar last night I found out that my baby was gone Chorus And I need an angel And I need a prayer I need someone to take my hand right now I need someone to take me there Take me to the altar So I can dance in the water Take me to the altar So I can dance with the father Verse 2 Outside of the liquor store thinking $2 dollars in my pockets 12 steps away from drinking My ex-wife said I cant see my son My radiator running hot and yeah my day just begun Feeling like Im losing my mind and my relegion Like every other man thats been caught up in the system Dont remember the last time that I went to church Said a prayer last night and Im hoping it work If I can make it to the first when I get my last check I can pay a couple bills and they wont disconnect Heard the fat lady singing that Im long over due Now my landlords knocking got me singing the blues People telling me that I need to change A bunch of dirt backstabbers I aint saying no names Where was yall when I needed a hand? Jeremiah:29 it wasnt part of his plan Chorus And I need an angel And I need a prayer I need someone to take my hand right now I need someone to take me there Take me to the altar So I can dance in the water Take me to the altar So I can dance with the father 3rd verse Thinking back to when I went to the pool My momma wouldnt let me swim unless I went to sunday school I was reading out the bible like a priest Till the boyz in the hood introduced me to the streets The c**aine, pretty women and the money Fast lane speeding like a crash dummy Dice game gambling in the backroom Fornicating with a neighbor cheating in the living room Man Im glad he dont judge me the past Cause if he did I would of died on the slab Drinking and driving when I crashed my truck You can blame it on a fifth of that kentucky deluxe Now that Im sober I can see a little clearer Cathch me staring at the world through my rearview mirror Wanna dance with the father wont you take me by the hand But Im just a little nervous wont you take me to the man
