Dirt Road Prayer lyrics

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
