Dirt Road Prayer

Let the light shine on my mama
 She's been worried about 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
 Give my grandpa a little peace and quiet
 I can feel the years of hard work in his hands
 Make my days pass just a little bit slower
 I've been running so fast
 I've forgotten who I am
 And so I go where the green grass grows
 The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
 Look to the sky and I 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, lay it down again right there
 In a dirt road prayer
 ♪
 He's a good guy
 Looks dad 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
 And I go where the green grass grows
 The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
 Look to the sky and I 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, lay it down again right there
 In a dirt road prayer
 ♪
 It's good to know I can
 Always go where the green grass grows
 The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
 Look to the sky and I say hello, ooh yeah
 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
 In a dirt road prayer yeah, yeah
