daddy doesn't pray anymore

i guess he's finished talkin to the lord

he used to fold his hands and

bow his head down to the floor

but daddy doesn't pray anymore

i remember even when the times were bad

he thanked jesus for everything he had

for a good wife and three children

and the food upon our plates

yeah everything was right

when he said grace

daddy doesn't pray anymore

i guess he's finished talkin to the lord

he used to fold his hands and

bow his head down to the floor

but daddy doesn't pray anymore

there was a time

when we didn't get along

cause i thought i was right

and he was wrong

still when i laid down at night

i'd hear him get down on his knees

and say a little prayer for me

daddy doesn't pray anymore

i guess he's finished talkin to the lord

he used to fold his hands and

bow his head down to the floor

but daddy doesn't pray anymore

instrumental break

today i followed daddy down to church

and listened to the preacher

read god's word

we sang his favorite hymn but

daddy didn't make a sound

this afternoon we'll lay him

in the ground

daddy doesn't pray anymore

i guess he's finally

walkin with the lord

he used to fold his hands and

bow his head down to the floor

but daddy doesn't pray anymore
