[Verse]

There are some saints that have been forgotten

Like most of my drunken prayers

They say there's a heaven somewhere above the yonder

Where there's no more crosses to bear



[Verse]

And there's ghosts all along the highways

And there's storms out on the sea

My only hope is somewhere in that heaven

Someone says a prayer for me



[Chorus]

I've been ridin' stone blind horses

Never seen a reason to believe

Hey sweet Genevieve, say a prayer for me

The wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours, and thieves



[Verse]

The high slurred whistle of a redwing blackbird

Sounds like a singin', Oh that I might die

It's a song for those who have fallen

Unrepentant and with no more alibis



[Chorus]

I've been ridin' stone blind horses

Never seen a reason to believe

Hey sweet Genevieve, say a prayer for me

And the wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours, and thieves

Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me

And the wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours and thieves
