| 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 |
