Lyrics transcript
Reviewed lyrics for Bottlecap Prayer.
I laid three caps on the table
Set my whiskey by the light
Just give me enough tomorrow
To prove somebody cares
This is my bottle care prayer
All I got and all I own
My bottle care prayer
From a woman who's been too long alone
If heaven still takes payment
Take these three and hear me there
Ain't got much left to offer
Just this bottle cap print
I pray once for a good man
Then I learned to pray for sins Prayed once for a warm bed
Now I settle for a fence Every glassing costs you something
Every promise leaves a scar
So I quit asking for forever
Just get me through where we are
This is my bottle cap prayer
All I got and all I own
Just his bottle cap print
Maybe nobody's a-listening
Three caps on the table, one bottle cap print
