"Dirtroad Prayer"

Ever hear a song you've never heard before and suddenly your heart already knows the words.
You suddenly know the words because you've lived them, you cried those tears, you lost those dreams, or you've prayed those prayers.  The second I heard these first three lines, the chills started all over me.  Although I've been a fan of Nicolle for years, and I prefer her version (including the second half), this song has found the right voice to bring it to the hearts of millions.  Everyone send one up that this gets released to radio this year!  I can't write a blog long enough to encompass the meanings of this song, but I feel like I coud have one heck of a writing session with these two writers because we are definitely from the same mold.  Songwriting, emotions, prayers, and truth at its best.

Song: "Dirtroad Prayer"

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 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

Repeat 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
