Mama Say a Prayer

The bright lights of the city are a pretty sight to see

Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me

Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be

So, mama, when you pray tonight say a special prayer for me

I miss your tender good night kiss of love and understandin'

The good night kisses I get now are cruel and so demandin'

So, mama, when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees

Mama, say a special prayer for me

The nights get cold and lonely

When you're far away from home

And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong

Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me

So, mama, when you pray tonight say a special prayer for me

I miss your tender good night kiss of love and understandin'

These good night kisses I get now are cruel and so demandin'

So, mama, when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees

Mama, say a special prayer for me
