Song And A Prayer

He was a tough kid, high school quitter, from a broken home Just a Midwest boy, with a dream and a heart of gold For a steady pay he signed it all on the dotted line They gave him a gun, said have your fun and sent him off to die I got a song and a prayer for the dying Wherever you go, whatever you do You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying I got a song and a prayer for you She was a high school prom queen, hiding secrets with her smile She ran away from home, yeah she ran about a million miles The man told the girl he would put her on the silver screen She's never been found, she's the talk of the town, on the cover of a magazine I got a song and a prayer for the dying Wherever you go, whatever you do You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying I got a song and a prayer for you (solo) I got a song and a prayer for the dying Wherever you go, whatever you do You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying I got a song and a prayer for you... I got a song and a prayer for you...
