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

[Chorus]


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


[Chorus]

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
