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 16 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 runnin’ 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, ooo 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
