Back when I was doing time, there's a night I can’t forget
A mad man with a knife in hand tried to kill me while I slept
Somehow the knife missed its mark and I pinned the raging man
Somehow my Mama's prayers had worked again
One night, while we were driving across the mighty Texas plains
A car pulled out with its headlights out, head on into our lane
As Deanrow swerved to miss the car, I felt a mighty hand
Somehow my Mama's prayers had worked again
Mama’s prayers were always with me through the battlefield of life
She prayed for me and said amen in the name of Jesus Christ
From the death house in San Quentin, I walked away a better man
Somehow my Mama's prayers had worked again
Mama's prayers were always with me through the battlefield of life
She prayed for me and said amen in the name of Jesus Christ
From the death house in San Quentin, I walked away a better man
Somehow my Mama's prayers had worked again
