Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore

[Intro]

(One, two, three, four)

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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]

[Bridge]

Today I followed Daddy down to church

And listened to the preacher read God's word

And we sang his favorite hymn, but Daddy didn't make a sound

And this afternoon we'll lay him in the ground

[Chorus]

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
