[G]Daddy never [C/G]went to church on [G]Sunday

Chorus:
When mama [Em]prayed[C], good things [G]happen[D]
When mama [Em]prayed[C], lives were [Dsus]changed[D]
Not much [Em]more than five foot [D/F#]tall
But [G]mountains big and [C]small,[Em7] [Am]crumbled all a[D]way
When mama pra[Em]yed[Cmaj7][Em][C][D][G]

[G]Doing any[C/G]thing I dang well [G]pleased
[C]Burning down life's highway at full [G]throttle

[G]Then one night [C/G]I came home half [G]sober
[G]I saw mama [C/G]kneeling in the [G]den

And I [Am7]knew my restless [C]days were 'bout to [Dsus]end[D]
