Well I've been where you've been my friend
I felt the rain fall sideways
Hell on wheels in the fast lane
Down the crooked highway
And I've been through that perfect storm
My heart was wrecked, my soul was torn
And I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know

Sometimes you need more than whiskey
Sometimes wisdom just won't do
Well I ain't gonna judge you
I'm just gonna love you
Tonight I'm gonna pray for you

Your mamma's cried, your daddy's tried
Your friends have all but left you
You had an angel in your arms
But you let her go, I bet you
I tried my best to numb the hurt
Sometimes you can't find peace on earth
And I know, I know, I know
Well I know, I know, I know

Sometimes you need more than whiskey
Sometimes wisdom just won't do
Well I ain't gonna judge you
I'm just gonna love you
Tonight I'm gonna pray for you

And I know, I know, I know
Somebody pray for me
And I know, I know, I'll know
That heaven's listening
And I know, I know, I know
That you don't know my name
But I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know

Sometimes you need more than whiskey
Sometimes wisdom just won't do
Well I ain't gonna judge you
I'm just gonna love you
Tonight I'm gonna pray for you
