I'm reckless with my love
I hold it so close
That it's liable to bust and turn to dust
Now I turn my back on the people I trust
I push them so far that one of these days
They're liable to say

Hey son better start praying today
Hell's gonna come and you're gonna pay
Gonna have to face your life some day
No wait, I'll take a shot or two
Things are better when they seem true
Lord I hope I can make it through

I throw all my cares away
I take what I get cause
When tomorrow comes I'll be on my way
Now I see only open fields
I feel what I feel I'll feel when I die
But now I'm feeling alive

So son better start praying today
Hell's gonna come and you're gonna pay
Gonna have to face your life some day
No wait, I'll take a shot or two
Things are better when they seem true
Lord I hope I can make it through

Yes I get a little lonely
Don't want to walk this road all my life
Girl tonight you got me by your side
You can get anything that you want 
If you ask it right
Now baby I'm reckless with my love
I turn my back on the people I trust
And I'm careless with my luck
But it's turning around
So guess I believe in
God up above 

no son, better start praying today
Hell's gonna come and you're gonna pay
Gonna have to face your life some day
No wait, I'll take a shot or two
Things are better when they seem true
Lord I hope I can make it through
