Lyrics:
Grandaddy bought this slice back in 1962
It came with a barn, a dog in the yard and a Chevrolet painted blue
Well that Chevy still starts but that old John Deere’s just sitting there in the shed
And every time that old whippoorwill sings I hear what he said
And he said
Take time to say your prayers
Even if it feels like no one’s there
Round that field, plant that grain
One good rain could change everything
And there’s a good chance that where you stand
Is your own little piece of the promised land
If the star’s still spangled and the dirt’s still red
And there’s a roof still over your head
You’re blessed

Now I’m all grown, I got a kid of my own and he wants to learn how to fish
So we’re standing at the pond riggin’ up a rod thinkin’
God would you look at this
He looked up at me said “Daddy could it be that us and Mama got it made”
I said “Yes we do and we always will if we just remember this one thing”
And then I said
Take time to say your prayers
Even if it feels like no one’s there
Round that field, plant that grain
One good rain could change everything
And there’s a good chance that where you stand
Is your own little piece of the promised land
If the star’s still spangled and the dirt’s still red
And there’s a roof still over your head
You’re blessed

Amen, amen
Well I hope when he grows up he passes down that word like Grandad did for me
I don’t care if he’s out in California or he’s up north or stays put here in Tennessee
This land I’m standing on now is gonna be his one day, without the shadow of a doubt
He’ll probably be fishing this pond with his ole boy
And think about this right now and he’ll say
Take time to say your prayers
Even if it feels like no one’s there
Round that field, plant that grain
One good rain could change everything
And there’s a good chance that where you stand
Is your own little piece of the promised land
If the star’s still spangled and the dirt’s still red
And there’s a roof still over your head
You’re blessed
