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
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
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 and lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer Yeah' yeah

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' Huu 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
