You wrote this tragedy
And starred in every scene
You must have seen the end
And I have lost a friend all too
What should you do
I offered up my hand
But you just turned your back
You're given what you get
When there's no mercy left

I'll pray for you
I'll pray for you

The devil is at your back
And there's no shaking that
You're just a broken soul
Who threw those sticks and stones at you

And I'll pray for you
So I'll pray for you

I'm not your Novocain
To take away the pain
Cause I know what you done
And I'm not the only one
I'm no Samaritan
I've seen my sheriff sin
You dug this hole
You dug it deep
Oh what a lousy place to be

Cause I'll pray for you
And I'll pray for you
And I'll pray for you
And I'll pray for you
And I'll pray for you
I'll pray for you
