Pray to Jesus - Brandy Clark

We live in trailers and apartments too

From California to Kalamazoo

Grow up, get married and when that one ends

We hate sleepin' 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 it ain’t no genie and it 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 it ain’t no genie and it 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 Powerball

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 it ain’t no genie and it ain’t no bottle

So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto

Like a bumper sticker, like a poor man’s motto

Times are tough and our time is borrowed

So let’s pray to Jesus and let’s play the lotto
