Lyrics
Verse 1: Now I know that I shouldn't have been driving, how I wish now she wouldn't have been riding, why didn't somebody take my keys, it would have saved her on that awful night, when I decided to get high.
Upside down what a terrible scene, her lifeless body lying next to me, I wish that I could turn back the clock, I would never be behind the wheel, never driving drunk.
Chorus: Oh pray for me, as I sit here in this pain and torment, pray that she is resting in the angels comfort, pray for me, I can not escape the agony of this memory, when God took her soul from here.
Verse: Yes I know now I shouldn't have been driving, I wish to God that she wouldn't have been riding, my mind's now trapped in an awful place, visions of blood on her face, I can never erase.
Chorus: Oh pray for me, as I sit here in this pain and torment, pray that she is resting in the angels comfort, pray for me, I can not escape the ugliness and the painful memory, when God took her soul from here.
Bridge: I wish there could've been an intervention, using and abusing everyday is how I chose to live, because of me she's gone, and I'm here instead, she's the one who deserved to live, and now I'm living dead.
Chorus: Oh pray for me, as I sit here in this pain and torment, pray that she is resting in the angels comfort, pray for me, I can not escape the agony and the painful memory, when God took her soul from here.
Consolation for me is never near, because of my abuse God took her soul, from here. Oh pray for me.
