Daddy don't pray anymore I guess he's finished talking to the lord He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor But daddy don'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 don't pray anymore I guess he's finished talking 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 don't pray anymore I guess he's finished talking to the lord He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor But daddy don't pray anymore 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 don't pray anymore I guess he's finally walking with the lord He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor But daddy don't pray anymore
