Pray Them Bars Away Lyrics
Four years down
And twenty-one to blow
Ten thousand more
Breakfasts to go
Fourteen millions second
Of living this away
And I guess it's time I started
To pray them bars away
I wonder what you're doing
Since I don't see you none
Are you still doing
All those rotten things we done?
If you got some spare time
Why don't you learn to pray?
Maybe you can help me
Pray them bars away
Remember ol' Red Barker
He checked out last night
He still owed 'em 18 years
It serves the devils right
He checked out in a casket
He'd been 62 today
I heard that he went crazy
Trying to pray them bars away
Sometimes I miss the women
And miss them all, I do
Sometimes I miss the whiskey
And I miss the good times too
Sometimes I miss my Mama
I saw her Christmas Day
But I never miss a time
To pray them bars away
I'm told I should be thankful
For everything I got
So thank you for the rock walls
And the ??, thanks a lot
And thank you for the good job
At twenty cents a day
And thank you for the break time
To pray them bars away
And twenty-one to blow
Ten thousand more
Breakfasts to go
Fourteen millions second
Of living this away
And I guess it's time I started
To pray them bars away
Since I don't see you none
Are you still doing
All those rotten things we done?
If you got some spare time
Why don't you learn to pray?
Maybe you can help me
Pray them bars away
He checked out last night
He still owed 'em 18 years
It serves the devils right
He checked out in a casket
He'd been 62 today
I heard that he went crazy
Trying to pray them bars away
And miss them all, I do
Sometimes I miss the whiskey
And I miss the good times too
Sometimes I miss my Mama
I saw her Christmas Day
But I never miss a time
To pray them bars away
For everything I got
So thank you for the rock walls
And the ??, thanks a lot
And thank you for the good job
At twenty cents a day
And thank you for the break time
To pray them bars away
