No Lyrics - American Saturday Night - Brad Paisley

On my fifth birthday I got so upset 

About the brand new bike that I didn't get 

I'd prayed my heart out and it didn't seem fair. 

I told my grandpa, "I guess God doesn't care" 

And he just smiled and said, "My child," 

"Make no mistake 

Every prayer you pray gets answered 

Even though 

Sometimes, the answer is no."

Five years later, out behind the shed 

With a stolen pack of grandpa's cigarettes 

I struck a match, and held that first one to my lips 

And prayed to God, "Please let me get away with this." 

And through the smoky air I saw grandpa standing there. 

Make no mistake 

Every prayer you pray gets answered 

Even though 

Sometimes, the answer is no 

When I think of all the answers in my life, I would have to say 

There's no doubt it was always for the best when I didn't get my way. 

Grandpa got older, like grandpas do 

His health was failing and I guess I knew 

It'd be best if he was called on home 

But selfishly I prayed that God would keep him hanging on 

And when he passed away, in my mind I heard him say.

Make no mistake 

Every prayer you pray gets answered 

Even though 

Sometimes, the answer is no. 

Sometimes the answer 

Is no.
