Lyrics

TRAILER TRASH PRAYER

Give me all green lights, Jesus
Next time I?m runnin? late.
Or maybe some miracle 6-pack abs
Where I could drink my way into shape.

Came here today to say, Lord
Got a few doubts in my mind.
Do everything the Good Book says
But I just need a sign.
I just need a sign.

Let them kids do like they?re told.
Keep my wife from looking old.
You know and see it all
Help me win that powerball.

CHORUS Oo, hear my prayer.
Hear my little trailer trash prayer.
Trailer trash prayer.

Thank you, Lord, for my family.
And every single blessing you?ve given me.
Sometimes they?re just hard to see.

No one likes a complainer.
Topping that list would be me.
But once I?d like to take a Sunday drive
Straight down Easy Street.
Straight down Easy Street.

Let them kids do like they?re told.
Keep my wife from looking old.
You know and see it all
Help me win that powerball.

CHORUS Oo, hear my prayer.
Hear my little trailer trash prayer.
Oo, hear my prayer.
Hear my little trailer trash prayer.
Trailer trash prayer.

SOLO

BRIDGE Swing low new Couple de Ville
Coming for to carry me home.

CHORUS Hear my prayer.
Hear my little trailer trash prayer.
Oo, hear my prayer.
Hear my little trailer trash prayer.
Oo, hear my prayer.
Hear my little trailer trash prayer.
Oo, hear my prayer.
Hear my little trailer trash prayer.
Let them kids do like they?re told.
Keep my wife from looking old.
You know and see it all
Help me win that powerball.
