Momma Prayed - Joey Greer

I've never been one to ask for help If I need a mountain moved, I'll move it myself I ain't the church pew regular, twice on Sunday Quote you the scripture kind I'm far from a preacher, but I'm a believer 'Cause every single day before, I knew your name I couldn't see your face, but I prayed for you Every heartbreak trail when all hope failed On the highway to hell, I prayed for you I kept my faith like that old King James said I'm supposed to It's hard to imagine, bigger than I could fathom I didn't know you from Adam, but I prayed for you For someone to love me like you do Graceful eyes that see me through A smile that steals me A heart that heals me, a touch that kills me too And baby, you're perfect I guess the good Lord heard it 'Cause every single day before I knew your name I couldn't see your face, but I prayed for you Every heartbreak trail when all hope fails On the highway to hell, I prayed for you I kept my faith like that old King James said I'm supposed to It's hard to imagine, bigger than I could fathom I didn't know you from Adam, but I prayed for you Every single day before I knew your name I couldn't see your, face but I prayed for you Every tail light fade in the goodbye rain Girl, even today, I pray for you I kept my faith like that old King James said I'm supposed to It's hard to imagine, bigger than I could fathom I didn't know you from Adam, but I prayed for you I prayed for you I prayed for you

For you I am praying For you I am praying For you I am praying I'm praying for you Daddy never went to church on Sunday He said that's one thing I'll never do Mama never gave up she said one day He'll be sitting here beside me and you I can still hear Mama softly talking Her tears falling on her folded hands So that Easter Sunday Daddy walked That's when I began to understand When Mama prayed, good things happened When Mama prayed, lives were changed Not much more than five foot tall But mountains big and small Crumbled all the way when Mama prayed Seventeen and wild I hit the bottom Doing and thing I dang well please Burning down life's highway at full throttle While Mama burned a candle on her knees Then one night I came home half sober I saw Mama kneeling in the den As I listened, she and Jesus talked it over And I knew my restless days were 'bout to end It isn't like every one of them got answered But the times they weren't seems to me were rare You almost felt sorry for the devil Cause heaven knows he didn't have prayer When Mama prayed Not much more than five foot tall But mountains big and small Crumbled all the way when Mama prayed Crumbled all the way when Mama prayed

Trying to get me to stop Oh, I try but I can't Dying to hear you just talk Oh, I'd die just to hear you again Over and over I'm pushing these boulders up walls Shorter and shorter, these days make me older I can't complain, I can't refrain I've got two hands and my wrists And today they'll create One million paper-made birds That will fly but will break Colder and colder, you give me that shoulder again No rhyme or no reason explains all the treason you left me with It's on your lips Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I've turned my hands into fists So today I can break One million paper-made birds That will fly, not today Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I have a place that I'd like to call home You've got this look on your face You're looking at me like a dog with a bone How many times do I have to decline? These things that you've said all get into my head But every time that I see you, these feelings start to bleed through I'm bleeding out, it's the end now And something starts to creep out Now I see what my dreams would look like from the passenger seat I'll just sit and complain about stupid shit that I can't change Oh, oh, ah-ah-ah, oh-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ah Now that you're gone, I can think for myself Things I would normally leave on the shelf But every time that I see you, these feelings start to bleed through I'm bleeding out, it's the end now And something starts to creep out Now I see what my dreams would look like from the passenger seat I'll just sit and complain about stupid shit that I can't change Oh, oh, ah-ah-ah, oh-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ah Now that you've done it, you finally got in my head Oh, how you've spun it, I'm finally caught in your web Oh, I could gun it, I'd probably just end up dead But how could I tell you why? Why, oh-oh But now I've seen what my dreams would look like from the passenger seat I'll just sit and complain about stupid shit that I can't change Oh, oh, ah-ah-ah, oh-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ah

At last My love has come along My lonely days are over And life is just a song At last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped in clover The night I looked at you I found a dream that I can speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I've never known (oh, yeah, yeah) You smiled Oh, and then the spell was cast And here we are in Heaven For you are mine at last You smiled And then the spell was cast And here we are in Heaven For you are mine at last, at last For you are mine at last
