Jefferson was always out of luck
  I remember when we both grew up
  Jefferson got hit by a westbound truck
  I guess that didn't make him look like a million bucks
  That night when Sally really stole the show
  And every boy was captured diggin' for gold
  Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow
    I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
    Jefferson is always on my mind
  When him and me were runnin' out of time
  Jefferson was sure enough left be behind
  The cops came in and took him by surprise
  That night when Sally really showed her game
  The neighbourhood would never be the same
  Poor old Jefferson got the blame
    Ooooh
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
  Yeah
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
    I do believe he didn't do wrong
  I say a prayer for someone I care for
  I do believe he didn't do wrong
  I say a prayer for someone I care for
    That night where Sally really gave it all
  And made us small boys look quite tall
  Poor old Jefferson left the ball
    Yeah
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
  I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
  Pray for Jefferson's soul
  a-a-a-a-ah [X3]
