■ Grandma used to pray out loud
                 B    
By her bed every night
                      B       
To me it sounded like mumblin'
                        B   
Like she was out of her mind
                          B      
She said Boy this kind of praying
                 B   
Is what saved my life
                  B        
You oughta try it some time
                       B    
And now I know she was right
                   B    
She was talking to Jesus
                   B    
She was talking to Jesus
               E          B                        
And she'd been talking to Jesus for all of her life

■ Mama used to drag me to church ■
B                                   
Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights
                  B         
Khaki pants and a polo shirt
               B    
Boy I put up a fight
                     B              
She said Son one day you'll thank me
                  B        
For having God in your life
                        B    
And yeah I know she was right
                 B    
Yeah my mama was right

                      B    
She got me talking to Jesus
                   B       
She got me talking to Jesus
             B

[Verse]
                     B      
I've got three of my own now
                 B       
Tryna raise them up right
             B      
My oldest is fifteen
      B                          
And I remember what that was like
                    B    
Tryna deal with the drama
      B                               
Tryna figure out the questions in life
                            B              
And I've been looking for a way to show him
               B      
How to make it alright
                     B   
Then he walked in my room
            B                                
While I was saying my prayers the other night
             E         B    
He said I'll come back later
                     E           B   
I can tell you got a lot on your mind
            E      B           
I said It's not an interruption
                  E               B   
You couldn't have picked a better time
       B                          
'cause I was just talking to Jesus
              E         B  
Come over and give it a try

There's no wrong way to do it
B                           
There's no bad time to start
                       B     
It don't have to sound pretty
                        B         
Just tell Him what's on your heart

'cause it's not a religion no

'cause it's more like a friendship
                     B     
So just talk to your Father

Like you are His kid
