Duck Tape and Prayers is a heartfelt country song about a couple trying to hold things together through money stress, fear, and everyday pressure. The hook captures the toughness and faith it takes to keep going. Strong fit for an artist who can sell vulnerability with authenticity.
Verse
Old truck smokin’ in the drive
Porch light fightin’ to stay alive
Just enough supper in this old place
You look at me like we’ll be okay
Pre-Chorus
Someday all this stuff’ll be gone
Still somehow we keep hangin’ on
Chorus
Little fights over money again
Said some things we don't mean now and then
Yeah this life moves way too fast
Some days I don’t know if we’ll last
But every night you’re still right there
We’re livin’ on duct tape and prayers
Verse
You ask me if we’re gonna be alright
I say “yeah” a little too fast tonight
The truth is I get scared some too
But baby I still lean on you
Pre-Chorus
I promise that our world won’t break
Just prayin’ these words hold weight
Chorus
Long nights lyin’ side by side
We’re just too damn tired to fight
Some days all we do is cope
Still wakin’ up and holdin’ hope
But every night you’re still right there
We’re livin’ on duct tape and prayers
Bridge
If what we’ve got is barely enough
I’d still choose you over givin' up
Yeah this life’s done left some scars
But I see exactly who you are
Chorus
Some nights all we do is breathe
Still holdin’ on to you and me
This life’s taken more than planned
But you’re still reachin’ for my hand
But every night you’re still right there
We’re livin’ on duct tape and prayers
