[Verse 1]
A
I was born in the Southland, grew up a rollin' stone
A
Workin' all day and night for weeks, was a-livin' it all alone
D
I got no friends to call my own, no woman to love me
E
Now I just seem to be slippin' away, think I'm gonna jump in the sea
[Chorus]
A G A G
Ah, I'm gonna keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright
A G A G
Keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A
About a month or so ago I was workin' in Tennessee
A
Tried to make time with another man's woman
A
And he turned around and tried to shoot me (yeah, he did)
D
I guess I'll be on the next train home or maybe I'll catch a plane
E
For my life seems to be slippin' away, think I'm gonna go insane
[Chorus]
A G A G
Ah, I'm gonna keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright
A G A G
Keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
[Chorus]
A G A G
Keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright
A G A G
Keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright, ah
