Randy Travis - When Mama Prayed Lyrics
Daddy never went to church on SundayHe said that's one thing I'll never doBut mama never gave up she said one dayHe'll be sitting here beside of me and youI can still hear mama softly talkingWith her tears falling on her folded handsSo that Easter Sunday Daddy walked inThat's when I began to understandWhen mama prayed, good things happenWhen mama prayed, lives were changedNot much more than five foot tallBut mountains big and small crumbled all awayWhen mama prayedSeventeen and wild I hit the bottleDoing anything I dang well pleaseBurning down life's highway at full throttleWhile mama burned a candle on her kneesThen one night I came home half soberI saw mama kneeling in the denAs I listened she and Jesus talked it overAnd I knew my restless days were 'bout to endWhen mama prayed, good things happenWhen mama prayed, lives were changedNot much more than five foot tallBut mountains big and small crumbled all awayWhen mama prayedIt isn't like every one of them got answeredBut the times they weren't it seems to me were rareYou almost felt sorry for the devil'Cause heaven knows he didn't have a prayerWhen mama prayedNot much more than five foot tallBut mountains big and small crumbled all awayWhen mama prayedThey crumbled all awayWhen mama prayed
