Backstory:

The idea for this song came from the Oak Ridge Boys pitch opportunity in April. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to make the deadline on that one but I decided to go ahead and write a Mama song anyway for next time.

Lyrics:

                                                  
                                    Title: Mama Say a Little Prayer 

Lyric Sample:
Writers: Michael Nichols/Albert Compton

Verse 1:
Mama you were always there for me
The best advice I always got from you
Well I met this gal down in Tennessee
Long story short she got the best of me  

Chorus:    
Oh Mama won't you say a little prayer for me
I'm settin on this old bar stool can’t you see
Searchin my mind and drinkin Jim Beam 
But you know I wasn't raised that way
Oh Mama, say a little prayer for me
Mmmm-mm, One little prayer today

Verse 2:
Mama I can't get her off of my mind
How can I tell if this is real or am I blind    
Hope you can help me to find the truth
I'm just not sure how I should choose
 
Chorus:
Oh Mama won't you say a little prayer for me
I'm settin on this old bar stool can’t you see
Searchin my mind and drinkin Jim Beam
But you know I wasn't raised that way
Oh Mama, say a little prayer for me
Mmmm-mm, One little prayer today

Bridge:
I feel helpless without your advice 
Don’t want this choice to ruin my life
One mistake in love can hurt our family
Please Mama, I could use some clarity
Chorus:

Outtro:
Oh Mama won’t you pray one more time for me
