It all went quiet, like no one sitting in that crowd
No place for hiding the voices in my head so loud
I saw that blue sky, I saw that timer running down
Right then I knew, I knew that I had no time for doubt
And if there's one thing that I learned
From playing odds and playing ball
It's that sometimes you gotta wind it back
Let go and risk it all
'Cause I've tried my best, and I've done my time
Oh, I've held my breath 'til my lungs caught fire
Need it off my chest 'fore I'm good and gone and buried
Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary
I messed it all up, and she went west and I went south
I let that goodbye leave way too easy out my mouth
And I tried to fight it, that voice that said, "Boy, she's the one"
'Til that July when I got the nerve to call her up
'Cause if there's one thing that I learned
From every day since she got packed
It's that sometimes you gotta take the shot
Let go and don't look back
'Cause I've tried my best, and I've done my time
Oh, I've held my breath 'til my lungs caught fire
Need it off my chest 'fore I'm good and gone and buried
Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary
Oh, I'm on my knees with my hands up high
Praying, "Please, oh, please," 'til my blood runs dry
Trying to say my peace, 'fore I'm good and gone and buried
Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
I gave it all up for a different city street
My glass half empty turned into a different dream
'Cause I'm not chasing a life that isn't meant for me
Oh, I'm not chasing a life that isn't meant for me
'Cause I've tried my best, and I've done my time
Oh, I've held my breath 'til my lungs caught fire
Need it off my chest 'fore I'm good and gone and buried
Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary
Oh, I'm on my knees with my hands up high
Praying, "Please, oh, please," 'til my blood runs dry
Trying to say my peace, 'fore I'm good and gone and buried
Throwing a Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary) yeah
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary) yeah
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
