  • I haven't been to church since I don't remember when
    Things were goin' great 'til they fell apart again
    So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
    He said you can't go hatin' others who have done wrong to you
    Sometimes we get angry, but we must not condemn
    Let the good Lord do His job and you just pray for them

    I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
    I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill
    and knocks you in the head like I'd like to
    I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
    I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
    I pray all your dreams never come true
    Just know where ever you are honey, I pray for you

    I'm really glad I found my way to church
    'Cause I'm already feelin' better and I thank God for the words
    Yeah I'm goin' to take the high road
    And do what the preacher told me to do
    You keep messin' up and I'll keep prayin' for you

    I pray your tire blows out at 110
    I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend
    and wake up with his and her tattoos

    I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
    I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill
    and knocks you in the head like I'd like to
    I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
    I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
    I pray all your dreams never come true
    Just know where ever you are, near or far, in your house or in your car,
    Wherever you are honey, I pray for you Writer/s: Jaron Lowenstein, Joel Brentlinger
