Prayer for the Little Man - Blackberry Smoke

Calling home on the phone like a lifeline

Let the voices fill me up like a drunkard’s wine

Another fix, I’m fine

Hang it up, kill the light and just lay there

Think about that girl, we had it all I swear

Yeah we thought it’d last forever

Then we finalize

But don’t matter where I am

Every night when I close my eyes

Say a prayer for the little man

'Cause he’s gonna need a helping hand

Now and then and I won’t be around

Can you just let me know there’s an angel looking down?

Say a prayer for a mother’s love

Yeah I hope that it’ll be enough

'Cause I know that it’s tough and he don’t understand

Say a prayer for the little man

Mmm… mmm

I remember my daddy’s phone calls

Just a kid, I’d always talk to him out in the hall

Keep from setting Mama off

So I’ve been right in your shoes, son

Never thought, in a million years, I’d ever be the one who

Thought it’d last forever

Then we finalize

But every night when I close my eyes

Say a prayer for the little man

'Cause he’s gonna need a helping hand

Now and then and I won’t be around

Can you just let me know there’s an angel looking down?

Say a prayer for a mother’s love

Yeah I hope that it’ll be enough

'Cause I know that it’s tough and you don’t understand

Say a prayer for the little man, yeah

Say a prayer for the little man

'Cause he’s gonna need a helping hand

Now and then and I won’t be around

Can you just let me know there’s an angel looking down?

Say a prayer for a mother’s love

Yeah I hope that it’ll be enough

'Cause I know that it’s tough and he don’t understand

Say a prayer for the little man

(For the little man)

A prayer for the little man

(For the little man)

A prayer for the little man

Oh, yeah

Mmm-mmm
