Song lyrics

[Chorus:]
Daddy doesn't pray anymore,
I guess he's finished talking to the Lord,
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor,
But daddy doesn't pray anymore.

[Verse 1:]
I remember even when the times were bad,
He thanked Jesus for everything he had:
For a good wife and three children
And the food upon our plates,
Yeah, everything was right when he said, grace.

[Chorus:]
Daddy doesn't pray anymore,
I guess he's finished talking to the Lord,
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor,
But daddy doesn't pray anymore.

[Verse 2:]
There was a time when we didn't get along
‘Cause I thought I was right and he was wrong,
Still when I laid down at night,
I'd hear him get down on his knees
And say a little prayer for me.

[Chorus:]
Daddy doesn't pray anymore,
I guess he's finished talking to the Lord,
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor,
But daddy doesn't pray anymore.

[Verse 3:]
Today I followed daddy down to church
And listened to the preacher read God's word,
We sang his favorite hymn, but daddy didn't make a sound,
This afternoon we'll lay him in the ground,
But daddy doesn't pray anymore,
I guess he's finally walking with the Lord,
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor,
But daddy doesn't pray anymore.
