Prayer For The Little Man

(album: Little Piece Of Dixie - 2009)

Calling home hold the phone like a lifeline
let the voices fill me up like a drunkard's wine
another fix I'm fine
hang it up kill the light and just lay there
think about that girl we had it all I swear

Yea we thought it'd last forever
then we finalized
but no matter where I am
every night when I close my eyes

[Chorus]
Say a prayer for the little man
cause he's gonna need a helping hand
now and then and I won't be around
can you just let me know
there's an angel looking down
say a prayer for a mother's love
yea I hope that it'll be enough
cause I know that it's tough
and he don't understand
say a prayer for the little man

I remember my daddy's phone calls
just a kid I'd always talk to him out in the hall
to keep from setting mama off
so I've been right in your shoes son
never thought in a million years
I'd ever be the one who

Thought it'd last forever
then we finalized
But every night when I close my eyes
