Lyrics
Intro, Slide Guitar, Slow Blues Groove
Verse 1
I’ve been walkin’ down this lonesome road
Carrying a cross too heavy to hold
Done some things I wish I could take back
But the devil keeps leadin’ me off the track
Pre-Chorus, Soft Organ Swell
I ain’t no saint, Lord knows it’s true
But Mary, I’m beggin’, I’m countin’ on you
Chorus, Gospel Harmonies, Emotional Lift
Mary, won’t you pray for me
Lift my name where I can’t be
Tell the Lord I’m tryin’ to change
Wash this soul of sin and shame
Mary, won’t you pray for me
Verse 2
Whiskey on my breath, dirt on my hands
Been runnin’ wild, breaking God’s commands
But I feel that pull, deep inside my chest
A whisper sayin’ I could still find rest
Pre-Chorus, Rising Intensity
If you’re hearin’ me now, take my plea
Mary, help Him find some grace for me
Chorus, Stronger Vocals, Gospel Choir Backing
Mary, won’t you pray for me
Lift my name where I can’t be
Tell the Lord I’m tryin’ to change
Wash this soul of sin and shame
Mary, won’t you pray for me
Instrumental, Soulful Slide Guitar Solo, Crying Notes
Bridge
I don’t deserve mercy, I know I’ve been wrong
But I can’t fight this darkness alone for long
Chorus, Climactic Vocals, Full Harmonies
Mary, won’t you pray for me
Lift my name where I can’t be
Tell the Lord I’m tryin’ to change
Wash this soul of sin and shame
Mary, won’t you pray for me
Outro, Hammond Organ and Soft Guitar Fade
Mary… won’t you pray for me
