[Verse 1]
A
I was born in the Southland, grew up a rollin' stone
A
Workin' all day and night for weeks, was a-livin' it all alone
D
I got no friends to call my own, no woman to love me
E
Now I just seem to be slippin' away, think I'm gonna jump in the sea

[Chorus]
             A                  G                    A      G
Ah, I'm gonna keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright
A                 G                   A       G
Keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright

[Verse 2]
A
About a month or so ago I was workin' in Tennessee
A
Tried to make time with another man's woman
      A
And he turned around and tried to shoot me (yeah, he did)
 D
I guess I'll be on the next train home or maybe I'll catch a plane
   E
For my life seems to be slippin' away, think I'm gonna go insane

[Chorus]
             A                  G                    A      G
Ah, I'm gonna keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright
A                 G                   A                     G
Keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do

[Chorus]
A                 G                    A      G
Keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright
A                 G                    A      G
Keep prayin', everything's gonna be alright, ah
