Brandy Clark - Pray To Jesus Lyrics






We live in trailers and apartments too
From California to Kalamazoo
Grow up get married and when that one ends
We hate sleeping alone so we get married again

Don’t wanna be buried in debt or in sin
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
Cause there ain’t but two ways
We can change tomorrow
And there ain’t no genie
And there ain’t no bottle
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto

We love to complain about what we can’t fix
Mostly mothers in law traffic and politics
We tell our kids how hard it was back when
Same way our parents did to us back then

Thought we’d be different but we’re just like them
Yeah we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
Cause there ain’t but two ways
We can change tomorrow
And there ain’t no genie
And there ain’t no bottle
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto

We load our kids up in our new used car
And after church we hit the mini mart
Behind the counter up there on the wall
It reads 200 million on the power ball

Six little numbers that could change it all
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
Cause there ain’t but two ways
We can change tomorrow
And there ain’t no genie
And there ain’t no bottle
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto

  28. p.... ....

    I don't know how I've missed this great country artist.  I must have  been listening to too many of the pop country stations around here...I LOVE this one.  No rap, no pop, no fluff...just country.

  29. L.... W....

    Great song by a great artist!

  30. s.... ....

    Now my new favorite female vocalists is also last named Clark, to go along with  Guy. That's high praise, brother. What a delightful, talented major interpreter of the human condition. The " 1%"ers will fail to relate totally, but the rest of us know ALL these places of the heart too well.

  31. J.... F....

    I know many folks trapped in hard times.   We play the lottery, hoping we get out of economic straits.   We also are god fearing people who pray for better times.   You know, we have to organize and get our fair share.

    J.... F....

    Trapped.  Hard times for some.  Me.  Others.  I don't play the lotto.  I cant afford it.  I live in a very wealthy area.  To pass the time,  I watch the Rich have a good time spending their money and distancing themselves from me.  They really don't appear to be happy.  Although....they appear to be happier than I.

  32. N.... ....

    Most impressive music I've heard in forever. Left me wanting more.

  33. B.... I....

    This Brooklyn, NY city girl has loved country music since I was 13 years old and love it more now than ever!

  34. R.... W....

    Since I'm Not ususally a fan of Country Music. Especially NOT a fan of most of the New Artist coming out. I don't listen to Country. I'm SO glad I was listening to NPR FIRST LISTEN.  These lyrics are so awesome, I bought the album!!

  35. J.... C....

    I never listen to country music but I found a snippet of these lyrics online and they're just phenomenal. I'm going to have to see what else Brandy has to say.

  36. W.... I....

    lol...I'd have to move to TN.

  37. K.... E....

    Your reply sounds like the lyric to a "country" song. You should write a song.

  38. A.... M....

    This is good music. It is so far out of my lane but I can appreciate it.

  39. K.... ....

    Same here; caught her on NPR the other day; liked her so much I had to look her up! Instant fan also. And I'm not a big country fan, particularly religious or a lotto player either :-)

  40. C.... B....

    Oh my! I fell in love right away

  41. r.... y....

    anybody know how long this girl has been around

  42. D.... B....

    Love this!

  43. A.... J....

    Great song the lost aspirations in hopeless rsolve ring true here. You are very good in your collaboration: smart, intelligent and reaching into the depths of the American soul. I will watch your rise as I have watched that of others. I bow down to you on this one!

  44. S.... P....

    Amazing talent! Hope she gets some love on the radio because she deserves it!

  45. W.... I....

    I don't listen to country, I don't believe in god, and I've never played the lotto but this song still hits home.

  46. A.... B....

    Thanks to Emily McCombs for the recommendation!

  47. W.... H....

    Great song love it

  48. P.... B....

    Love Brandy. ❤
