I recently wrote this song with Christine Joy, a cowriter that met on one of Brent Baxter's songwriting events.

“ Pray Out Loud” (Duhon, Joy)
© 2026
Him being gone is too hard to believe
So she’s drowning herself in their memories
This empty house used to be their home
She peaks in on her sleeping little girl
Yeah there was a time, he was her whole world
Her hearts breaking more than she’ll ever be able to show
Sometimes you’ve just got to pray out loud (D)
Don’t bottle it up , you gotta shout it out (Bm)
Let the heavens open up and rain down (G)
Sometimes you’ve just got to pray out loud (G, A, D)
He’s been fighting demons since eighteen
He’s had more bad days than clean
This feels like his last chance to get it right
He doesn’t know if he has the strength left
Every promise broken, every bridge wrecked
So he’s down on his knees crying out into the night
Repeat Chorus
When their burden got to heavy to carry alone
They sent it up to heaven, let it go
They aren’t ready to let their marriage end this way
So they hold each other tight and pray
Repeat Chorus
