[Verse 1]

She left Oklahoma for California, sunglasses on the brim of her hat

Smoke was pouring from that old Cadillac, but she wasn't turning back

Just outside of Flagstaff, motor blew on her Coup De Ville

Just in time, she saw a sign, there's was a Texaco waiting at the bottom of the hill

And she said

[Chorus]

Somebody must be praying for me

Somebody out there must be praying for me

Must be angels I can't see

Somebody must be praying for me

Yeah

[Verse 2]

A boy about twenty climbed out of a truck, all covered in grease and dirt

She said, "Hey, Charles," but he just laughed, he said, "I'm wearing my daddy's shirt"

He stood there lost in her eyes, then she got lost in his

As the years roll by, she would sigh every time they kissed

And she'd say

[Chorus]

Somebody must be praying for me

Somebody out there must be praying for me

Must be angels I can't see

Somebody must be praying for me

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Somebody must be praying for me

Somebody out there must be praying for me

Ain't it funny how you always find just what you need?

Somebody must be praying for me

[Outro]

Yeah

Somebody must be praying for me

Praying for me

Yeah
