CAll you kids get out the back door, I've Fnever seen her this mad before
She Ctook all her favorite things down from the window
And Gbroke them all over her clean floor
It's CSaturday at the mansion, the Foldest boy walks with a slouch
The Cyoung ones are wild in back of the house
And she Ggave up and went back to Csleep on the couch
FSomething as simple as boys and Cgirls
Gets Gtossed all around and lost in the Amworld
FSomething as hard as a prayer on your Cback
Can wait a Glong time for an Amanswer
When I was little I'd stare at her picture
And talk to the mother of God
I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move
Like she was trying to say something to me
When I was eighteen I moved to Florida
Like everyone sick of the cold does
And I waited on old people waiting to die
Oh, I waited on them until I was
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer

Now I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor
One day I won't live here anymore
And someone will wonder who lived here before
And went on their way
I live too many miles from the ocean
And I'm getting older and odd
I get up every morning with my cup of coffee
And I talk to the mother of God
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world
Something as har as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer
Can wait a long time for an answer
