How I Learned To Pray

When I was sixteen, that set of keys was a pair of wings Daddy, pretty please, can I take a ride tonight? I swear I won't get her over fifty-five With Back in Black racing through my veins Last thing I thought was if flipin' this thing don't get me killed I'm pretty sure my old man will And seeing his face when the wrecker hauled my freedom away That's how I learned to pray It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse Some preacher made sure everybody heard Or just some words somebody taught me to say I was living like I wasn't long for the world Mama always said it'd take a special girl to get a hold of me But I never let one get close to me The man upstairs must've heard her prayers 'Cause I looked up, you were standin' there waitin' on me Like you were made for me And I knew right then and there, that I'd been saved That's how I learned to pray It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse Some preacher made sure everybody heard Or just some words somebody taught me to say I can fold my hands and bow my head But there's just some things that can't be said Without a little walk on water kind of faith And that's how I learned to pray Have you ever looked up at the stars in the sky Felt a tug at your heart Didn't know why but you just knew Someone is up there lookin' out for you Well, you know just what I mean when I say Grace That's how I learned to pray Mm, that's how I learned to pray Learned to pray, learned to pray How I learned to pray How I learned to pray
