C F All you kids get out the back door, I've never seen her this mad before C She took all her favorite things down from the window G And broke them all over her clean floor C F It's Saturday at the mansion, the oldest boy walks with a slouch C The young ones are wild in back of the house G C And she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch F C Something as simple as boys and girls G Am Gets tossed all around and lost in the world F C Something as hard as a prayer on your back G Am Can wait a long time for an answer
When I was little I'd stare at her picture
And talk to the mother of God
I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move
Like she was trying to say something to me
When I was eighteen I moved to Florida
Like everyone sick of the cold does
And I waited on old people waiting to die
Oh, I waited on them until I was
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer

Now I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor
One day I won't live here anymore
And someone will wonder who lived here before
And went on their way
I live too many miles from the ocean
And I'm getting older and odd
I get up every morning with my cup of coffee
And I talk to the mother of God
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world
Something as har as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer
Can wait a long time for an answer
