Barely

Eddie Reeves

Barely had a prayer left to lean on

Barely holding on

I nearly got hung up on a do wrong

This time tomorrow she’ll be gone

Oh sweet temptation

Sometimes gets the best of the very best of us

And oh it’s amazing

Just how much everything we touch we want so much

And we barely had a prayer left to lean on

Barely holding on

I nearly got hung up on a do wrong

This time tomorrow she’ll be gone

It’s not the first time I’m wrong

Wrong times been ‘round here never seem disappear

I swear that it’s the last time

Can’t waste my life on another man’s wife

And keep livin’ here

And we barely had a prayer left to lean on

Barely holding on

I nearly got hung up on a do wrong

This time tomorrow she’ll be gone, gone, gone
