Intro:
D N.C.
Verse 1:
D N.C.
Back when I was doing time
G N.C. D N.C.
There's a night I can't forget
D N.C.
A mad man with knife in hand
A7 N.C.
Tried to kill me while I slept
D N.C. D7 N.C.
But somehow the knife missed its mark
G N.C. D N.C.
And I pinned the raging man
D N.C. A7 N.C. D N.C.
Somehow my mama's prayers had worked again
Verse 2:
D N.C.
One night while we were driving
G N.C. D N.C.
Across the mighty Texas plains
D N.C. D N.C.
A car pulled out with its headlights out
D N.C. A7 N.C.
Head on into our lane
D N.C. D7 N.C.
As Deanrow swerved and missed the car
G N.C. D N.C.
I felt a mighty hand
D A7 D
Somehow my mama's prayers had worked again
Chorus:
G
Mama's prayers were always with me
G
Through the battlefields of life
D
She prayed for me and said amen
A7
In the name of Jesus Christ

From the death house in San Quentin

I walked away a better man

Somehow my mama's prayers had worked again
