Travis Randy - When Mama Prayed lyrics

Daddy never went to church on Sunday

He said that's one thing I'll never do

But mama never gave up she said one day

He'll be sitting here beside of me and you

I can still hear mama softly talking

With her tears falling on her folded hands

So that Easter Sunday Daddy walked in

That's when I began to understand

When mama prayed, good things happen

When mama prayed, lives were changed

Not much more than five foot tall

But mountains big and small crumbled all away

When mama prayed

Seventeen and wild I hit the bottle

Doing anything I dang well please

Burning down life's highway at full throttle

While mama burned a candle on her knees

Then one night I came home half sober

I saw mama kneeling in the den

As I listened she and Jesus talked it over

And I knew my restless days were 'bout to end

When mama prayed, good things happen

When mama prayed, lives were changed

Not much more than five foot tall

But mountains big and small crumbled all away

When mama prayed

It isn't like every one of them got answered

But the times they weren't it seems to me were rare

You almost felt sorry for the devil

'Cause heaven knows he didn't have a prayer

When mama prayed

Not much more than five foot tall

But mountains big and small crumbled all away

When mama prayed

They crumbled all away

When mama prayed
