[Verse 1:]
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 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 pa** just a little bit slower
I've been runnin' so fast
I've forgotten who I am
[Chorus:]
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 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
[Verse 2:]
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
[Chorus:]
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 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 gra** grows
The weeds are high And the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say hello, oooh 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
