Daddy Doesn’t Pray

Daddy doesn't pray no more
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
A good wife and three children and the food upon his plate
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 daddy didn't get along
And I thought I was right and he was wrong
So when i lay down 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 the church
And listened to the preacher read God's word
We sang his favorite hymns and Daddy didn't make a sound
That afternoon we laid him in the ground

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
