[Verse 1]
O Lord
Please don't take him from me
I need him, you know I do
I try to stop him from using that shit
But there's no telling that man what to do

[Chorus]
But you'll have to pry him from my cold dead grip
If you try taking him from me, O Lord
And you know I
Refuse to understand
That he just makes his own bed
And there's no use trying

[Verse 2]
O Lord
Please don't give him those wings
You know how reckless he can be sometimes
And, oh I swear
He doesn't mean it when he says
He don't care if he lives or dies

[Chorus]
And I'm not sure if you can hear this, but I rеad
Your name across his chest, and I thought I'd try
So if you're thеre, Lord, I am begging you to spare him
Just spare him, to you I cry
[Outro]
Or you'll have to pry
Him from my cold, dead grip
'Cause I'm not letting go of him
