Pray To Jesus Lyrics - 12 Stories - Brandy Clark

We live in trailers and apartments too 

From California to Kalamazoo 

Grow up get married and when that one ends 

We hate sleeping 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 there ain't no genie 

And there 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 there ain't no genie 

And there 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 power ball 

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 there ain't no genie 

And there ain't no bottle 

So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
