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 prayerHe'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 prayerIt'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
