Song and a Prayer - The Dead Daisies

He was a tough kid, high school quitter, from a broken home

Just a Midwest boy, with a dream and a heart of gold

For a steady pay he signed it all on the dotted line

They gave him a gun, said have your fun

And sent him off to die

I got a song and a prayer for the dying

Wherever you go, whatever you do

You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying

I got a song and a prayer for you

She was a high school prom queen, hiding secrets with her smile

She ran away from home, yeah she ran about a million miles

The man told the girl he would put her on the silver screen

She’s never been found, she’s the talk of the town, on the cover of a magazine

I got a song and a prayer for the dying

Wherever you go, whatever you do

You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying

I got a song and a prayer for you

I got a song and a prayer for the dying

Wherever you go, whatever you do

You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying

I got a song and a prayer for you…

I got a song and a prayer for you…
