Name In Vain Songtext / Lyric

they were supposed

to be having such a good time

the flowers were there

but the guests had not yet arrived



but they prayed for you anyway

and they tried not to use his name in vain



my eyes going bad

I had to smile to see you cry

the bottom dropped out

somewhere along the way



but I won't drag your name around

when there's no one left to turn me down



expecting the worst

was the best that they could do

oh, just by a chance

would you ever make it alone



but they prayed for you anyway

yes, they prayed for you anyway

but they prayed for you anyway

yes, they prayed for you anyway

and they tried not to use his name in vain



they were supposed

to be having such a good time
