Capo 1 

D                   A 
Let the light shine on my mama 
Bm 
She's been worried about me 
    A                G 
And I can tell she's tired 
D               A    
Walk my brother in a straight line 
            Bm 
I know he's only 16 
    A                      G 
But he's been playing with fire 
  Bm               A         
Give my grandpa a little peace and quiet 
      Bm        A                        G 
I can feel the years of hard work in his hands 
D                  A 
Make my days pass just a little bit slower 
         Bm 
I've been runnin' so fast 
     A               G 
I've forgotten who I am 


[Refrão]

    D                              
And so I go where the green grass grows 
    A 
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low 
Bm                 A       
Look to the sky and I say, hello 
     G                   A 
Like it's the very first time 
   D                              
It doesn't matter how long it's been 
   A 
I can talk to God like he's my best friend 
        Bm            A               G 
Take my heart lay it down again right there 
In a dirt road prayer 

D   A 

D 
He's a good guy 
A 
Looks dad in the eye 
      Bm            A                 G 
And I wonder if you made him just for me 
    G                     
But before I fall give me patience 
    A 
Until you show me where to take this

Like it's the very first time 
   D                              
It doesn't matter how long it's been 
   A

D  A  Bm A G A  

  Bm 
It's good to know I can 
    D                              
Always go where the green grass grows 
    A 
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low 
Bm                 A       
Look to the sky and I say, hello 
     G                   A 
Like it's the very first time 
   D                             
It doesn't matter how long it's been 
   A 
I can talk to God like he's my best friend 
        Bm            A               G 
Take my heart lay it down again right there 

In a dirt road prayer yeah, yeah
