A Wing and a Prayer

I've been hurtin'
From another promise to myself gone wrong
Never certain
I could weather any storm that came along

Things have to change
Somehow that much is clear

Boy, you'd best stop living
On a wing and a prayer tonight
'Cause the odds are long
When you roll the dice
And hope it turns out right
You've got too much riding
On a wing and a prayer tonight
And the one sure shot at paradise
Is slipping out of sight
On a wing and a prayer tonight

I hear the talking
All the words of wisdom echo in my head
But the walking
Is only done by hearing with my heart instead

Tellin' the truth
That by now should be clear

Boy, you'd best stop living
On a wing and a prayer tonight
'Cause the odds are long
When you roll the dice
And hope it turns out right
You've got too much riding
On a wing and a prayer tonight
And the one sure shot at paradise
Is slipping out of sight
On a wing and a prayer tonight

Jesus, save me from myself
(Save me)
Heaven knows there's no one else to turn to
Every time I fall
I see the writing on the wall

Boy, you'd best stop living
On a wing and a prayer tonight
'Cause the odds are long
When you roll the dice
And hope it turns out right
You've got too much riding
On a wing and a prayer tonight
And the one sure shot at paradise
Is slipping out of sight
On a wing and a prayer tonight, yeah

Stop living on a wing and a prayer
And hope it turns out right
You've got too much riding
On a wing and a prayer tonight
And the one sure shot at paradise
Is slipping out of sight
On a wing and a prayer tonight
