"The Plea" lyrics - CODY JINKS

Mama, this highway's gonna kill me
And mama, I think my rose is wilting
The kids and her alone while I'm so far away from home
I feel so guilty
Mama, this highway's gonna kill me
I hope the road that takes me there will always bring me back
But I guess whatever will be, will be
Mama, this highway's gonna kill me

Woman, I wish I wouldn't hurt you
And woman, It's clear I don't deserve you
I know it seems I only need you when I ain't got nowhere else to turn to
So woman, I wish I wouldn't hurt you
I'm sure there's some relief in giving up and moving on
And sometimes it seems way too much to work through
Woman, I never meant to hurt you

[Bridge:]
Lord, I beg of you, protect me
Lately, swear the devil's out to get me
It ain't a leap of faith to say he always preys upon the unsuspecting
So Lord, I beg of you, protect me

[Outro:]
I can't walk with you if the devil's got my hand
I hope you have my back and direct me
Jesus, I beg of you, protect me
Oh Jesus, don't let 'em get me
