How I Learned To Pray Lyrics - Rubberband - Charlie Worsham

When I was sixteen, that set of keys was a pair of wings 

Daddy, pretty please, can I take a ride tonight? 

I swear I won't get her over fifty-five. 

Was Back in Black racing through my veins, last thing I thought 

Was a flip in this thing gonna 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 was (?), 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 prayer, 

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.
