She left Oklahoma for California
Sunglasses on the brim of her hat
Smoke was pourin from that old Cadilac
But she wasn't turning back
Just outside of Flagstaff,
Motor blew on her Coupe DeVille
Just in time she saw a sign,
There was a Texaco waiting at the bottom of the hill.
And she said
Somebody must be prayin for me
Somebody out there must be prayin for me
Must be angels, I can't see
Somebody must be prayin for me
Verse 2
A boy about twenty climbed out of a truck
All covered in grease and dirt
She said hey charles, but he just laughed
And said I'm Wearing my daddy's shirt.
He stood there lost in her eyes
And she got lost in his
As the years rolled by she would sigh
Everytime they kissed.
Repeat Chorus I
Sometimes she stares out the window
And wonders about her Hollywood dreams
But when she tucks her kids in bed
She softly whispers as they fall asleep
Chorus II (softly)
Somebody must be prayin for me
Somebody out there must be prayin for me
Ain't it funny how you always find, just what you need.
Somebody must be prayin for me.
Somebody must be prayin for me
