Pray To Jesus Lyrics by Brandy Clark

12 Stories

2012

[Verse 1]
We live in trailers and apartments too
From California to Kalamazoo
Grow up, get married and when that one ends
We hate sleepin' alone, so we get married again
Don’t wanna be buried in debt or in sin
[Chorus]
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
'Cause there ain’t but two ways we can change tomorrow
And it ain’t no genie and it ain’t no bottle
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
[Verse 2]
We love to complain about what we can’t fix
Mostly mothers-in-law, traffic, and politics
We tell our kids how hard it was back when
Same way our parents did to us back then
Thought we’d be different, but we’re just like them
[Chorus]
Yeah, we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
'Cause there ain’t but two ways we can change tomorrow
And it ain’t no genie and it ain’t no bottle
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
[Verse 3]
We load our kids up in our new used car
And after church, we hit the mini-mart
Behind the counter, up there on the wall
It reads 200 million on the Powerball
Six little numbers that could change it all
[Chorus]
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
'Cause there ain’t but two ways we can change tomorrow
And it ain’t no genie and it ain’t no bottle
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
Like a bumper sticker, like a poor man's motto
Times are tough and our time is borrowed
So let's pray to Jesus and let's play the lotto
