Even in your darkest hour
When your chain has lost the link
There's no word for magic power
It's no wine for men who drink
And it's got punch like knockout vines
But you've got to say it right on time
And it's got speed like a
talking woman's mind
Just before the dawn is breaking
Seem to be the darkest hour
All the prayers you've prayed a lifetime
seem to scatter like a shower
But maybe you forgot to say,
hey, forgive me, Father, one more time
For just that word
can save a girl from crying
All you got to do is say, forgive me,
and you've just won the game
My honky -tonky, humble smile's
on a midnight train
So every time I feel you in my trying
And I get out of line
All that I can say is forgive me
one more time
Just before the dawn is breaking
Seem to be the darkest hour
All the prayers you've prayed a lifetime
Seem to scatter like the shower
But maybe you forgot to say
Hey, forgive me Father one more time
But just those words
can't save a girl from crime
All you've got to do,
all you've got to do
is say forgive me
And you've just won the game
The honky -tonky hobo smiles
on a midnight train
Now every, every, every, every time
I feel you in my trying
And I get out of line
All that I can say is forgive
me one more time
All you got to do, all you got to do
is say forgive me
And you've just won the game
A honky -tonky hobo smiles
on a midnight train
Every, every, every time
I feel you in my trying
And I get out of line
All that I can say is forgive
me one more time
He's he's got me.
One more time, one more time.
He's got me.
