Nothin’ to Do but Pray Lyrics by Jim Hurst

From the Ground Up

2022

[Verse 1]
Teenage boy just left the house, car keys in his hand
I taught him everything I know to be a righteous man
I've lectured, preached, and threatened, now he's bound to go his way
But there ain't nothin', nothin' to do but pray
[Chorus]
When there's nothin' you can do and there's nothin' you can say
There ain't nothin', nothin' to do but pray
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
This woman that I'm married to, Lord, how we can fight
You would swear the world revolves around which one of us is right
When I'm walkin' to, you leave it, but I know that I should stay
But there ain't nothin', nothin' to do but pray
[Chorus]
When there's nothin' you can do and there's nothin' you can say
There ain't nothin', nothin' to do but pray
[Verse 3]
I've watched those folks in Washington, I don't like what I see
Lies and greed and wastefulness and pure stupidity
I've written, called, and voted, raised the flag on Veterans Day
But there ain't nothin', nothin' to do but pray
[Chorus]
When there's nothin' you can do and there's nothin' you can say
There ain't nothin', nothin' to do but pray
[Outro]
Oh, when there's no more you can do and there's no more you can say
There ain't nothin', nothin' to do but pray
There ain't nothin', nothin' to do but pray
