Lyrics
Janie lies awake with her eyes shut tight Praying he believes that she's asleep Too many bruises and years of being used is enough for anyone to take Janie's hiding money a dollar at a time In between the pages of her bible She knows he'll never look there to busy drinking for prayer she's waitin' for her chance to make a break She's praying for a change but her dreams are growing dim so afraid her little girl will marry a man just like him and she's bracing for the worst desperate for the best waitin' on a miracle and praying for a change Billy stumbles home just like every night angry when he finds his wife asleep he goes to watch the TV and JD keeps him company to help him forget about the ache He hears the TV preacher thru the whiskey haze asking him to open up his heart his eyes fall on her good book he reaches out to take a closer look breaks down when he finds her hiding place [chorus] Janie and Billy were my parents they died a year ago one week apart married fifty years Momma said the first few full of tears then Daddy had a healin' in his heart They were praying for a change when their dreams were growing dim spillin' tears of joy the day I married a man just like him they were bracing for the worst and hoping for the best waited on a miracle while praying for a change waited on a miracle Praying for a change end
