George Jones - Maiden’s Prayer lyrics

Some say it's the strong who survive

Sometimes I wonder if there's any truth to that at all

I've been lucky and that's a fact in a crazy world

I've led a charmed life

I know judges and I know priests

I know gangsters, bad cops and lawyers too

But I don't need none of them to sing this song

I've led a charmed life

Chorus:

No this ain't no hard luck story

Some have had better and some have had worse

Then again until you've walked my way

You'd have to say I've led a charmed life

I'm not so scared of dying

I've got my health , my friends and family too

I'm just afraid of living and not being sure

I've led a charmed life

Chorus:

No this ain't no hard luck story

Some have had better and some have had worse

But then again until you've walked in my shoes

You'd have to say I've led a charmed life

Bridge:

When the dice come tumbling down I'll be waiting

To see what luck comes my way

When the cards get passed around I'll be waiting

To see what hand I should play

I believe it's neither wrong or right

To cross that line from the dark to the light

And I say, "Even in the worst of times against all odds,

I seem to have led a charmed life."

Repeat Chorus
