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 hes only 16
But hes 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 pa** just a little bit slower
Ive been runnin so fast
Ive forgotten who I am
And so I go where the green gra** grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say, hello
Like its the very first time
It doesnt matter how long its been
I can talk to God like hes my best friend
Take my heart lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer
Hes 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 gra** grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say, hello
Like its the very first time
It doesnt matter how long its been
I can talk to God like hes my best friend
Take my heart lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer
Its good to know I can
Always go where the green gra** grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say hello, ooo yeah
It doesnt matter how long its been
I can talk to God like hes 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
