When I was 16, that set of keys was a pair of wings
Daddy, pretty please, can I take her out tonight?
I swear I won't get her over 55
With Back In Black racing through my veins
Last thing I thought was a flip in this thing don't get me killed
I'm pretty sure my old man will
And seein' his face when the wrecker hauled my freedom away
Yeah, that's how I learned to pray
It wasn't in a church with a chapter and a verse
Some preacher made sure everybody heard
Or just some words somebody taught me to say
I was living like I wasn't long for thе world
Mama always said it'd take a special girl to get a hold of mе
But I never let one get close to me
The man upstairs must've heard her prayers
'Cause I looked up, you were standin' there waitin' on me
Like you were made for me
And I knew right then and there that I'd been saved
That's how I learned to pray
It wasn't in a church with a chapter and a verse
Some preacher made sure everybody heard
Or just some words somebody taught me to say
I can fold my hands and bow my head
But there's just some things that can't be said
Without a little walk-on-water kind of faith
And that's how I learned to pray
Have you ever looked up at the stars in the sky
Felt a tug at your heart, didn't know why, but you just knew
Someone is up there lookin' out for you
Well, you know just what I mean when I say Grace
That's how I learned to pray
Mm, that's how I learned to pray
How I learned to pray (I learned to pray)
How I learned to pray
How I learned to pray
