She left Oklahoma for California
Sunglasses on the brim of her hat
Smoke was pourin’ from that old Cadillac
But she wasn’t turnin’ back
Just outside of Blackstaff
Motor blew on her Coupe Deville
Just in time
She saw a sign
There was a Texaco waitin’ at the bottom of the hill
CHORUS:
And she said
Somebody
Must be prayin’ for me
Somebody out there must be prayin’ for me
Must be angels
I can’t see
Somebody
Must be prayin’ for me
A boy about 20 climbed out of a truck
All covered in grease and dirt
She said «Hey Charles»
But he just laughed
He said, «I’m wearin’ my daddy’s shirt»
He stood there lost in her eyes
And she got lost in his
As the years rolled by
She would sigh
Everytime they kissed
And she’d say…
(repeat chorus)
Sometimes she stares out the window
And wonders about her Hollywood dreams
But when she tucks her kids in bed
She softly whispers, as they fall asleep…
Somebody
Must be prayin’ for me
Somebody out there must be prayin’ for me
Ain’t it funny how you find just what you need
Somebody
Must be prayin’ for me
Yeah, somebody
Must be prayin’ for me
Prayin’ for me
