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


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


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


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


        F
  It's good to know I can
C
  Always go where the green grass grows
G
  The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Am                               F     G
  Look to the sky and I say hello ooo yeah
C
  It doesn't matter how long it's been
G
  I can talk to God like he's my best friend
Am                                            F
  Take my heart and lay it down again right there
