"Good Graces" lyrics

Track dirt in the house, like it's a bad habit
6 days a week, if we're keeping the sabbath
When we ain't in a pew, there's a good reason
God don't mind when it's harvest season
One farm house and a whole lot of acres
Take a lotta love with a side of free labor
We raise 'em up quick, they earn their keep
Damn kids gotta learn that we all gotta eat

Can't take credit when you know where it's due
If you really wanna know what's gettin' us through

It's prayin' for rain and God's good graces
That His sun shine down on our faces
The devil make his dollar with them idle hands
So we keep 'em busy workin', don't give him a chance
This side of heaven, the only way we make it
Is prayin' for rain and God's good graces

Sex used to sell, now it's just bad news
Don't wind me up on the doom and gloom
I know I got it better than I deserve
I got a front porch seat to the good lord's work

Kids in the yard, wife in my bed
And hands to fold when I lay my head

Just prayin' for rain and God's good graces
That His sun shine down on our faces
The devil make his dollar with them idle hands
So we keep 'em busy workin', don't give him a chance
This side of heaven, the only way we make it
Is prayin' for rain and God's good graces

Now when a storm rolls through, it just means
The man upstairs payin' mind to me

Just prayin' for rain and God's good graces
That His sun shine down on our faces
The devil make his dollar with them idle hands
So we keep 'em busy workin', don't give him a chance
This side of heaven, the only way we make it
Is prayin' for rain and God's good graces
Yeah this side of heaven, the only way we make it
Is prayin' for rain and God's good graces
