[Verse 1]
I walked in with clean boots
And a pocket full of change
You were leaning by the jukebox
Smiling like a hurricane
I said, "Girl, I came to find you"
Not to chase a whiskey flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't drink, I don't lie
Just a little nervous guy
If you need a steady heart
I'm your lucky ride tonight
[Chorus]
I'm just a honky tonk prayer
(oh Lord)
Looking for you there
(looking for you)
Jesus, mercy, grace
Put that smile in my place
I'm just a honky tonk prayer
Won't you meet me there?
[Verse 2]
You wore that red sundress
Like a sunset in July
I was one step from a stutter
When you caught me by the eye
Said, "I ain't here for trouble"
Honey, I was born shy
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't drink, I don't roam
But I could walk you home
If the night gets wild and loud
I'll be the calm you know
[Chorus]
I'm just a honky tonk prayer
(oh Lord)
Looking for you there
(looking for you)
Jesus, mercy, grace
Put that smile in my place
I'm just a honky tonk prayer
Won't you meet me there?
[Bridge]
Well, the band broke loose
And the room got hot
Your hand found mine
Like a long-lost thought
I thanked the Lord
For the chance I'd got
[Chorus]
I'm just a honky tonk prayer
(oh Lord)
Looking for you there
(looking for you)
Jesus, mercy, grace
Put that smile in my place
I'm just a honky tonk prayer
Won't you meet me there?
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm just a honky tonk prayer
(oh Lord)
Looking for you there
Wrapped in mercy
Wrapped in grace
Meet me there
