I was born in the Southland,
grew up a rollin' stone,
workin' all day and night for weeks,
was a-livin' it all alone,
I got no friends to call my own,
no woman to love me,
now I just seem to be slippin' away,
think I'm gonna jump in the sea.
Ahh, I'm gonna keep prayin'
everything's gonna be all right,
keep prayin' everything's gonna be all right.
About a month, or so, ago
I was workin' in Tennessee,
tried to make time with another man's woman,
and he turned around and tried to shoot me.
(Yeah, he did)
I guess I'll be on the next train home,
or maybe I'll catch a plane,
for my life seems to be slippin' away,
think I'm gonna go insane.
Ahh, I'm gonna keep prayin'
everything's gonna be all right,
keep prayin' everything's gonna be all right,
yes I do,
yes I do,
yes I do,
keep prayin' everything's gonna be all right,
keep prayin' everything's gonna be all right,
all right.
