Dirt Road Prayer

Let the light shine on my mama

She's been worried 'bout me

And I can tell she's tired

Walk my brother in a straight line

I know he's only sixteen

But he's been playing with fire

And give my grandpa a little peace and quiet

I can feel the years of hard work in his hands

And make my days pass just a little bit slower

I've been running so fast, I've forgotten who I am

So I go where the green grass grows

The weeds are high and the sun hangs low

Look to the sky and I'll say hello

Like it's the very first time

It doesn't matter how long it's been

I can talk to God like he's my best friend

Take my heart and lay it down again right there

In a dirt road prayer, yeah, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah

He's a good guy, he looks daddy in the eye

And I wonder if you made him just for me

But before I fall, give me patience

Until you show me where to take this

So I go where the green grass grows

The weeds are high and the sun hangs low

Look to the sky and I'll say hello

Like it's the very first time

It doesn't matter how long it's been

I can talk to God like he's my best friend

Take my heart and lay it down again right there

In a dirt road prayer

Ooh, dirt road prayer

Ooh

In a dirt road prayer
