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 good-night kiss
Of love and understanding.
The good-night 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.
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 good-night kiss
Of love and understanding.
The good-night 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.
