[Verse 1]
Let the light shine on my mama
She's been worried 'bout 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 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

[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]
Yeah, 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

[Bridge]
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"
Oooh, yeah

[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
Yeah, yeah
In a dirt road prayer
Yeah, yeah
