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 pass
Just a little bit slower
I've been running so fast
I forgot who I am

[Bridge}

So, I go where the green grass grows
Weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say 'hello'
Like it's the very first time

{Chorus}
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

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

Yeah, I go where the green grass grows
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 and lay it down again, right there
In a dirt road prayer

It's good to know
I can always go where the green grass grows
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 and lay it down again, right there
In a dirt road prayer
