Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I ain’t always walked the straight line Boots been muddy, heart’s been mean But Mama keeps my picture Right there on John 3:16 [Chorus] So whisper a silent prayer for me When the porch light’s low and the night runs deep Call my name in that kitchen chair Like I’m sittin’ right there If you talk to Heaven when you’re on your knees Whisper a silent prayer for me [Verse 2] You know the roads I tend to follow Dead-end bars and county fairs If you see my truck at closing time Send up a few more cares [Chorus] So whisper a silent prayer for me When the porch light’s low and the night runs deep Call my name in that kitchen chair Like I’m sittin’ right there If you talk to Heaven when you’re on your knees Whisper a silent prayer for me [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll come driving home Find your Bible open, coffee warm Hear you say, “Boy, I knew you’d be Right where the Lord could reach” [Chorus] So whisper a silent prayer for me When the porch light’s low and the night runs deep Call my name in that kitchen chair Like I’m sittin’ right there If you talk to Heaven when you’re on your knees Whisper a silent prayer for me [Outro] ‘Til He turns this wandering into peace Whisper a silent prayer for me
