It's way past midnight, everyone asleep Outside the window it's quiet on the street My bags are packed, my guitar too Taxi's coming, nothin' I can do Oh Lord, keep your eye on my friends I'd just feel better knowing you're watching them I've got to roll, take a little spin While I'm gone, keep your eye on my friends Gotta get home the only way I know The long old road, steady and slow One of these days I'll come back If the creek don't rise and stuff like that Oh Lord, keep your eye on this place Keep it warm, keep it safe You know I depend on your saving grace While I'm gone keep your eye on this place Bridge: This is just a prayer like any other Nothing more, nothing less A prayer like any other One more time could you just say yes Oh Lord, keep your eye on me You know how foolish and reckless I can be Light my way up, so I can see Oh Lord, keep your eye on me Oh Lord, keep your eye on my friends Oh Lord, keep your eye on this place
