The Only One Who's Prayin'

For as long as I recall
Mama's always joked about
How hard I'm gonna fall
The day I finally meet
The one God made for me
She's been waiting for a while now
Wondering how long it might be

I know every time the sun sinks down at night
Mama shuts her eyes and asks God to help me find
Someone to share my days
And little ones to raise
Well, the sun keeps on fading
She's patiently waiting
But, Mama, ain't the only one who's prayin'

Are you dating, anyone?
She asks me every time I'm home
I just smile and say I'm not
Don't work yourself to death
Darlin', stop and take a breath
There's someone waiting out there
You just haven't met 'em yet

I know every time the sun sinks down at night
Mama shuts her eyes and asks God to help me find
Someone to share my days
And little ones to raise
Well, the sun keeps on fading
She's patiently waiting
But, Mama, ain't the only one who's prayin'

I can't wait to tell her
I think I've found the one
After all those years of hopeful prayers
Her work is finally done

I know every time the sun sinks down at night
Mama shuts her eyes and asks God to help me find
Someone to share my days
And little ones to raise
Well, the sun keeps on fading
She's patiently waiting
But, Mama, ain't the only one who's prayin'

Oh my Mama, ain't the only one prayin'
