[Verse 1]
She left Oklahoma for California, sunglasses on the brim of her hat
Smoke was pouring from that old Cadillac, but she wasn't turning back
Just outside of Flagstaff, motor blew on her Coup De Ville
Just in time, she saw a sign, there's was a Texaco waiting at the bottom of the hill
And she said

[Chorus]
Somebody must be praying for me
Somebody out there must be praying for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be praying for me
Yeah

[Verse 2]
A boy about twenty climbed out of a truck, all covered in grease and dirt
She said, "Hey, Charles," but he just laughed, he said, "I'm wearing my daddy's shirt"
He stood there lost in her eyes, then she got lost in his
As the years roll by, she would sigh every time they kissed
And she'd say

[Chorus]
Somebody must be praying for me
Somebody out there must be praying for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be praying for me
[Bridge]
Sometimes she stares out the window and wonders about her Hollywood dreams
But when she tucks her kids in bed, she softly whispers as they fall asleep

[Chorus]
Somebody must be praying for me
Somebody out there must be praying for me
Ain't it funny how you always find just what you need?
Somebody must be praying for me

[Outro]
Yeah
Somebody must be praying for me
Praying for me
Yeah
