VerseDGrandaddy boAmught this slice back in G1962
It Dcame with a barn, a Amdog in the yard, and a CGhevrolet painted blue
Well, that CDhevy still starts, but that oAmld John Deere's just sGitting there in the shed
And eDvery time that old whAmippoorwill sings, I can sGtill hear what he said
And he saidChorusDTake time to Amsay your prayers
EGven if it feels like no one's there
DRound that field, Amplant that grain
GOne good rain could change everything
And there's a.Dgood chance that Amwhere you stand
Is your oGwn little piece of the promised land
If the stDar's still spangled and the diAmrt's still red
And there's a rGoof still over your head
You're blessedDAmG.
VerseNow ID'm all grown, I got a kAmid of my own
And he Gwants to learn how to fish
We're stDanding at the pond, dAmigging up a rod, thinking
"GGod, would You look at this?"
He lDooked up at me, said
"DAmaddy, could it be that Gus and Mama got it made?"
I said, "YDes we do, and we aAmlways will
If we jGust remember this one thing"
And then I saidChorusDTake time to Amsay your prayers
EGven if it feels like no one's there
DRound that field, Amplant that grain
GOne good rain could change everything
And there's a.Dgood chance that Amwhere you stand
Is your oGwn little piece of the promised land
If the stDar's still spangled and the diAmrt's still red
And there's a rGoof still over your head
You're blessedD.

BridgeDWell, I hope when he growsAm up
He passes down that word lGike Grandad did for me
DI don't care if he's out in CalifornAmia
Or he's up north,G or stays put here in Tennessee
DThis land I'm standing on noAmw is gonna be his one day
GWithout the shadow of a doubt
DHe'll probably be fishing this Ampond with his old boy
GAnd think about this right now
And he'll sayChorusDTake time to sAmay your prayers
GEven if it feels like no one's there
DRound that field, pAmlant that grain
GOne good rain could change everything
And there's aD good chance that Amwhere you stand
Is your oGwn little piece of the promised land
If the stDar's still spangled and the dAmirt's still red
And there's a rGoof still over your head
You're blessedOutroDAmG.
