Daddy Never Had A Prayer
Written by: Kevin Denney and Phil O'Donnell

Verse:
When daddy hit the liquor he had a bad temper
And a dark side
I remember waking up and peaking out my window
Some late at night
I'd see him sittin' on our porch swing
Smoking them reds and taking one more swig
'Til no more would pour out
Barely get up, stagger in and fall

Chorus:
Down on her knees
At the foot of their old bed
Momma would be talking to Jesus
With her bible in her hand
Dear Lord forgive him
Devil forget him
He ain't that bad I swear
Yeah I can't say
Daddy never had a prayer

Spending time and money
Sippin' Satan honey
Takes a tall toll
Daddy let it get him
And it led him
Straight outta control
They say he was doin' 'bout 95
When he flipped off that bridge that night
Leavin' a fresh coat on the town
Landing that lincoln upside

Chorus:
Down on our knees
At the foot of their old bed
Momma and me were talking to Jesus
With our bibles in our hands
Dear Lord forgive him
Devil forget him
He ain't that bad I swear
Yeah we can't say
Daddy never had a prayer

Bridge:
Stealing dark hours from the devil
There's hell to pay in time
Daddy knew the cost
Oh but momma paid the price

Chorus:
Down on her knees
At the foot of their old bed
Momma would be talking to Jesus
With her bible in her hand
Dear Lord forgive him
Devil forget him
He ain't that bad I swear
Yeah we can't say
Daddy never had a prayer

Daddy never had a prayer
