How I Learned To Pray (Worsham Charlie)

When I was sixteen, that set of keys was a pair of wings Daddy, pretty please, can I take her out tonight? I swear I won't get her over fifty-five. With 'Back in Black' racing through my veins, Last thing I thought was a flip in this thing Don't get me killed. I'm pretty sure my old man will. And seeing his face when the wrecker hauled my freedom away That's how I learned to pray. It wasn't in a church with a chapter and a verse Some preacher made sure everybody heard Or just some words somebody taught me to say. I was living like I wasn't long for the world, Mama always said it'd take a special girl To get a hold of me, But I never let one get close to me. The man upstairs must've heard her prayers, 'Cause I looked up, you were standin' there waitin' on me Like you were made for me. And I knew right then and there, I'd been saved And that's how I learned to pray. It wasn't in a church with a chapter and a verse Some preacher made sure everybody heard Or just some words somebody taught me to say. I can fold my hands and bow my head, But there's just some things that can't be said Without a little walk-on-water kind of faith. And that's how I learned to pray. Have you ever looked up at the stars in the sky, Felt a tug at your heart didn't know why But you just knew Someone is up there lookin' out for you. Well you know just what I mean when I say Grace. That's how I learned to pray. That's how I learned to pray.
