Bryant, Jacob - Sometimes I Pray Lyrics






I can't always stand by myself, but Lord knows I've tried
I ain't as tough as I seem sometimes, as much as I fight
Tonight I'm leaning on the bottle, with a Bible in my hand
And kneeling like you taught me by this empty king size bed

But sometimes I pray, but not like I would, if you were here
And sometimes I drink a little more than I should, to fight back the tears
When I'm holdin on to my last breath
And I'm drowning in that drop that's left
And he knows, I don't know what to say
Sometimes I pray

Well I've given him the blame for my pain, time after time
And I've walked a fine line between hell and playing with fire
And I wonder why he listens as I stumble for a words
But that red and white gets clearer with every single verse

But sometimes I pray, but not like I would if you were here
And sometimes I drink a little more than I should to fight back the tears
When I'm holdin on to my last breath
And I'm drowning in that drop that's left
And he knows, I don't know what to say
Sometimes I pray

Sometimes I pray, but not like I would if mama was here
And sometimes I drink a little more than I should to drown out the tears
When I'm holdin on to my last breath
And I'm drowning in that drop that's left
And he knows, I don't know what to say
Sometimes I pray
Sometimes I pray

    Good song. Good delivery. I wasn't sure who the "you" was until you said "my mama." Had I been there before you committed to the finished product, I would have suggested "not like I would if Mama were here..." I loved the delivery. Great job overall. Please listen to "The Boozer." https://youtu.be/bvM9TimmlkE

  45. B.... L....

    Thanks for bringing back country when I was growing up country always had a song like this

  46. C.... J....

    Hey Buddy I know I’m a no body to you. I’m from Dallas Georgia and mommas birthday is coming up I don’t know what to do or say. I’m 25 now and it’s the 2 going on 3 years since momma passed away due to a Motorcycle accident. This song and your story hit me in a spot that no other song has ever and no one will ever know that feeling. If you could I’d love to talk about everything from the anger to the addiction and all hope to here from you soon brother keep up the good work.

  47. C.... C....

    I hear this song and it makes me think about myself and how I left my grandma's on bad terms cuz I was drinking too much and she was disappointed in me. Didn't talk to her for 4 years and she's gone now. And I didn't get to tell her sorry our how much I loved her anything. I regret some of the decisions I made, but can't go back. Now I've been sober from drinking since June of 2015. Still trying to make up for things I did and things I didn't do. But this song really hits ya where it hurts and I love it. You can see the sadness and the passion in his eyes from missing his mama. And trying to figure the urge to go back to the bottle. Stay strong Jacob you have a lot of people behind you. God is good. He will always help in your time of need. Thank you for such a beautiful song. The realness of it. And the truth in your eyes when singing the words. Means more to at least me than you will ever know. God bless you. 😍😊😇 Your biggest and truest fan. *Stephanie*

    Sometimes I Pray! Amazing song! I remember laying on the street in San Pedro California, I had just been shot in both lungs my liver
    My left shoulder and my groin. I remember after the attempted robbery and the altercation.,laying down on someone's porch entry.,I,looked up and said lord, if you are really there. Now would be a good time to come down and save my dumb ads. Please don't let me die like a dog in,the street under a different identity.. The good lord sent his first team.,former paramedics from,The Viet Nam War Era. Then I get to San Pedro Peninsula. Hospital. The guy from the business office comes and says, He doesn't have Insurance. Take him to County! As rhey were rolling me out to the ambulance to do that. I prayed. Lord you know my needs! All of a sudden a Dr.,appears with a white coat and stethoscope. He stopped the stretcher. Put his hand on my right shoulder. He said Son how are you doing. I said better now. I prayed and here you are. I told him, I'm cold as Ice! I have no blood left in me. I won't make it too County. He told the staff! This is my patient,he is not leaving this room. I felt the Needle Penetrate my heart less than 2 minutes later.
    It had quit beating. That man saved my life. I am now, 62 years old. I'm still praying! Not sometimes. All the time! God does answer prayers.

    M.... M....
