Marc Beeson - A Wing and a Prayer lyrics

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)
