Country Boy's Prayer

(album: We Were Cowboys - 2022)

No, I know it ain't Sunday
And this bench seat ain't no pew
And I know I've left you hanging like that cross around my rearview
But these backroads kick up questions
Like these Bridgestones kick up dirt
So I had to pull on over and turn this truck into a church

Could you hold back the city from the family farm
Put some bass in the pond as long as my arm
Give me one more season with my bird dog Bo
Some CDB on the radio
Can you bring everybody overseas back safe
And one of these years let the boys win state
Let Grandpa walk through the pearly gates up there
And if it ain't out of line, could you find a little time for a country boy's prayer

I pray corn grows taller than the scarecrow
And the co-op don't shut down
It'd be nice to get another year of Daddy's John Dear breaking ground
When you ain't too busy making this world go 'round

And could you hold back the city from the family farm
Put some bass in the pond as long as my arm
Give me one more season with my bird dog Bo
Some CDB on the radio
Can you bring everybody overseas back safe
And one of these years let the boys win state
Let Grandpa walk through the pearly gates up there
And if it ain't out of line, could you find a little time for a country boy's prayer
Whoa yeah

Yeah, I know we're just a little dot on the map
But the Good Book says you'll meet me where I'm at

And could you hold back the city from the family farm
Put some bass in the pond as long as my arm
Give me one more season with my bird dog Bo
Some Charlie Daniels on the radio
Can you bring everybody overseas back safe
And one of these years let the boys win state
And let Grandpa walk through the pearly gates up there
And if it ain't out of line, could you find a little time for a country boy'sprayer
