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

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
