daddy doesn t pray anymore

Chris Stapleton

Daddy doesn?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

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 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 doesn?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

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
But daddy doesn?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 doesn?t pray anymore
