[Verse 1]
It ain't easy puttin' up with
A road dog with a cup with
A little Jack in it
You talk about the backseat
I don't know, don't ask me
How she sat in it

[Pre-Chorus]
She carried my burdens and paid my bail
Put a Tennessee breeze in my Carolina sail
And set me free

[Chorus]
I don't pray much anymore
For this old troubadour's
Happiness, wishes, wants and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my livin' giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones, doing life with me

[Verse 2]
Coulda easily said goodbye to
This runaway train you're tied to
I know I don't get it
Baby, how you roll with it
[Pre-Chorus]
The fists and the fights and the scars of the battle
The ups and the downs of the judge's gavel
How'd you wind up in my unravel?

[Chorus]
I don't pray much anymore
For this old troubadour's
Happiness, wishes, wants and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my livin' giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones, doing life with me

[Bridge]
You're my faith in the grace
Every sunrise brings
Set me free

[Chorus]
I don't pray much anymore
For this old troubadour's
Happiness, wishes, wants and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my livin' giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
You're my faith in the grace every sunrise brings
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones, doing life with me
