(Dolly Parton)

The bright lights of the city are a pretty site to see
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be
So mama, when you pray tonight, say a special prayer for me.

I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding
The goodnight kisses I get now, are cruel and so demanding
So mama when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees
Mama say a special prayer for me.

--- Instrumental ---

The nights get cold and lonely when you're faraway from home
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong
Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me
So mama when you pray tonight, say a special prayer for me.

I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding
The goodnight kisses I get nowAre cruel and so demanding
So mama when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees
Mama say a special prayer for me...
