VERSE 1:
You pass me by each morning and try not to see
Look away, look ahead and just let me be
I don’t want your money or even your time
But for the grace of Almighty, your world could be mine
CHORUS:
And maybe Florida or California would be better to go
Where the days would be warmer, and the nights not so cold
You and I could rest easy beneath the stars
On the sand with no worries about where we are
On a wing and a prayer
VERSE 2:
I once was a banker with a beautiful wife
Till I fell to the bottom with no future in sight
My wife she did leave me without a word
In the rain on a Saturday, I lost my whole world
CHORUS:
And maybe Florida or California would be better to go
Where the days would be warmer, and the nights not so cold
You and I could rest easy beneath the stars
On the sand with no worries about where we are
On a wing and a prayer
BRIDGE:
In dreams I see curtains blow in the breeze
Sun shines through the window, feels like Heaven to me
In dreams I’m not cold, and I’m not hungry
Tomorrow may be a better
Together we may get there
On a wing, on a wing and a prayer
VERSE 3:
Street life isn’t easy, peace is harder to find
Always watch where you’re goin’, always lookin’ behind
All that I own is in this pack on my back
A lifetime of memories as I fall through this crack
CHORUS:
And maybe Florida or California would be better to go
Where the days would be warmer, and the nights not so cold
You and I could rest easy beneath the stars
On the sand with no worries about where we are
On a wing and a prayer (on a wing and prayer)
On a wing and a prayer (on a wing and prayer)
On a wing and a prayer (on a wing and prayer)
On a wing and a prayer
