G C/G G Daddy never went to church on Sunday G C/G G He said that's one thing I'll never do C G But mama never gave up she said one day Am7 C Dsus D He'll be sitting here beside me and you G C/G G I can still hear mama softly talking G C/G G with her tears falling on her folded hands C G So that Easter Sunday Daddy walked in Am7 C Dsus D That's when I began to understand
Chorus:
Em C G D When mama prayed, good things happen Em C Dsus D When mama prayed, lives were changed Em D/F# Not much more than five foot tall G C Em7 Am D But mountains big and small, crumbled all away Em Cmaj7 Em C D G When mama prayed G C/G G Seventeen and wild I hit the bottle G C/G G Doing anything I dang well pleased C G Burning down life's highway at full throttle Am7 C Dsus D While mama burned a candle on her knees G C/G G Then one night I came home half sober G C/G G I saw mama kneeling in the den C G As I listened, her and Jesus talked it over Am7 C Dsus D And I knew my restless days were 'bout to end
Chorus:
