Praying the Hell Out Of Me
Written by Jimmy Whiffen / Ron McNeil © 2010 (SOCAN)
Verse 1
How it got in here I don’t understand
I was washed in the water by a good preacher man
My momma told me that when I was three
She started pray in the hell out of me

Chorus
I was born in hell raising Cain down in my soul
Walking on brimstone and burning my bones
Staring won’t change what you can’t bear to see
Why don’t you start praying the hell out of me

Verse 2
I’ve heard people saying that the light sets you free
But the devil’s damnation’s been weighting on me
Candy’s temptation just tastes so sweet
Why don’t you start praying the hell out of me

Chorus
I was born in hell raising Cain
Down in my soul
Walking on brimstone and burning my bones
Staring won’t change what you can’t bear to see
Why don’t you start praying the hell out of me

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
I’m here at the crossroad with you up above
Let’s cut a deal for some of your love
My True Religions got holes in the knees
And I keep on praying the hell out of me
And I keep on praying the hell out of me
