The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pray for me
Pray for me
There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you
Something on the tip of my tongue
Something I saw in my old man when I was young
(Pray for me)
Will the water wash away the blood
And everything that I’ve done?
How can I save my name when the fire comes?
(Pray for me)
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I don’t know how to tell you
But where you’re going when you die
They don’t let the bad folk like me inside
(Pray for me)
I know I promised forever
But forever is a long, long time
Can you stand to be alone in your afterlife?
(Pray for me)
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I am simple
My hands are quiet
I’ve paid for what I did in the night
I am simple
My hands are quiet
I’ve paid for what I did in the night
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
