Praying for Me
by Ben Rector, Mat Kearney

Album: The Richest Man In The World


Chorus: Ben Rector
Someone must have been prayin' for me
'Cause I'm doing better than I oughta be
Sometimes I open my eyes and I can't believe it, yeah
Someone must have been
Someone must have been prayin' for me

Verse 1: Mat Kearney
West Coast kid in a Chevy S-10
Everything I own in the back of the bed
Wide-eyed dreamin' about a Nashville skyline
Naive enough to think that it's my town
Singin' about pipe dreams
Hangin' on by heart strings
100 doors kept on closin'
For thе one door you blew open, yеah

Chorus: Ben Rector
Someone must have been prayin' for me
'Cause I'm doing better than I oughta be
Sometimes I open my eyes, I can't believe it, yeah
Someone must have been
Someone must have been prayin' for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Verse 2: Mat Kearney
This has got to be as good as it gets
'Cause it feels like fiction
Little footsteps runnin' through the kitchen
Long nights runnin' on the highway
Turned into a couple bikes in the driveway ("Wear your helmet")
Livin' that pipe dream
I'm doin' better than I oughta be
Of all the lives that I could've lived in
When I see this one I've been given, I think

Chorus: Ben Rector
Someone must have been prayin' for me
'Cause I'm doing better than I oughta be
Sometimes I open my eyes and I can't believe it, yeah
Someone must have been
Someone must have been prayin' for me

Bridge: background, Ben Rector
(Somebody must have been)
(Somebody must have been)
(Somebody must have been prayin' for me)
When I see you in the morning, I know
(Somebody must have been)
(Somebody must have been)
Somebody must have been prayin' for me
(Somebody must have been prayin' for me)

Chorus: Ben Rector
Someone must have been prayin' for me
'Cause when I hold my daughter, I hear heaven speak
Sometimes I open my eyes, I can't believe it, yeah
Someone must have been
Someone must have been prayin' for me

Outro: Ben Rector
I thank God they were prayin' for me
