Charlie Worsham, Luke Combs - How I Learned to Pray Lyrics

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
