It was well into the night, as she laid there in a panic
She could hear him stumble as he slammed the door
while she tried to hide herself, she could still feel the bruises
from the night before, when she hit the floor

Married 18 years, he's the father of her children
she promised him, 'til death do us part
but the man she loves has changed,
now the demon that she lives with
tears her life apart and leaves her battle scars

Oh Lord, she prays. Oh, lord She prays.
Please help me make it through another day
When he swings at me, I pray that he misses,
and I'm not left, with his whisky kisses

When he crawled into their bed, he climbed onto her body
She was not about to let him follow through
as she tried to fight him off, he bit her and he hit her
yelling look at you, look what you make me do

Oh Lord, she prays. Oh, lord She prays.
Please help me make it through another day
when he swings at me, I pray that he misses,
and I'm not left, with his whisky kisses

Well it took a Smith and Wesson, and the nerve to pull the trigger
to finally put an end to her nightmare
and the only other sound, that echoed through the bedroom
was a little prayer drifting through the air

Oh Lord, she prayed. Oh, lord She prayed.
I'm gonna make it through another day
too many swings, too many whisky kisses
But this time, I didn't miss….
