"Pray To Jesus" lyrics

"Pray To Jesus"
(originally by 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

Love to complain 'bout what we can't fix
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

Like a bumper sticker
Like a poor man's motto
Times are tough and our time is borrowed
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
