Lyrics of 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
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
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 patients
Until you show me where to take this
Yeah, 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
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, yeah
In a dirt road prayer, yeah, yeah
