[00:00.54]Back when I was doin' time
[00:03.87]There's a night I can't forget
[00:09.86]A mad man with a knife
[00:12.18]In hand tried to kill me while I slept
[00:18.81]And somehow the knife missed
[00:21.84]It's mark and I pinned the raging man
[00:28.07]Somehow my Mama's prayers had worked again
[00:35.04]One night while we were driving
[00:37.38]Across the mighty Texas plains
[00:41.34]A car pulled out
[00:43.57]With it's headlights out head on into our lane
[00:51.09]Steering wheel swerved we missed the car
[00:54.09]I felt a mighty hand
[00:59.24]Somehow my Mama's prayers had worked again
[01:06.75]Mama's prayers were always
[01:09.47]With me through the battlefield of life
[01:15.92]She prayed for me and said Amen
[01:18.87]In the name of Jesus Christ
[01:25.81]From the death house in San Quentin
[01:29.07]I walked away a better man
[01:33.81]Somehow my Mama's prayers had worked again
[02:15.88]Mama's prayers were always with me
[02:19.67]Through the battlefield of life
[02:24.70]She prayed for me and said Amen
[02:28.44]In the name of Jesus Christ
[02:34.30]From the death house in San Quentin
[02:38.30]I walked away a better man
[02:42.36]Somehow my Mama's prayers had worked again
