[Verse 1]
I ain’t always walked the straight line
Boots been muddy, heart’s been mean
But Mama keeps my picture
Right there on John 3:16
[Chorus]
So whisper a silent prayer for me
When the porch light’s low and the night runs deep
Call my name in that kitchen chair
Like I’m sittin’ right there
If you talk to Heaven when you’re on your knees
Whisper a silent prayer for me
[Verse 2]
You know the roads I tend to follow
Dead-end bars and county fairs
If you see my truck at closing time
Send up a few more cares
[Chorus]
So whisper a silent prayer for me
When the porch light’s low and the night runs deep
Call my name in that kitchen chair
Like I’m sittin’ right there
If you talk to Heaven when you’re on your knees
Whisper a silent prayer for me
[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll come driving home
Find your Bible open, coffee warm
Hear you say, “Boy, I knew you’d be
Right where the Lord could reach”
[Chorus]
So whisper a silent prayer for me
When the porch light’s low and the night runs deep
Call my name in that kitchen chair
Like I’m sittin’ right there
If you talk to Heaven when you’re on your knees
Whisper a silent prayer for me
[Outro]
‘Til He turns this wandering into peace
Whisper a silent prayer for me
