Intro: | E | E |

E
We live in trailers and apartments too
From California to Kalamazoo
A
Grow up get married and when that one ends
          E
We hate sleeping alone so we get married again
B
  Don’t wanna be buried in debt or in sin

      E
So we   pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
Cause there ain’t but two ways we can change tomorrow
           B
And there ain’t no genie and there ain’t no bottle
      E
So we   pray to Jesus and we play the lotto

E
We love to complain about what we can’t fix
Mostly mothers in law traffic and politics
A
  We tell our kids how hard it was back when
E
  Same way our parents did to us back then
B
  Thought we’d be different but we’re just like them

        E
Yeah we   pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
Cause there ain’t but two ways we can change tomorrow
           B
And there ain’t no genie and there ain’t no bottle
      E
So we   pray to Jesus and we play the lotto

E
We load our kids up in our new used car
And after church we hit the mini mart
A
  Behind the counter up there on the wall
E
  It reads 200 million on the power ball
B
  Six little numbers that could change it all

      E
So we   pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
Cause there ain’t but two ways we can change tomorrow
            B
And there ain’t no genie and there ain’t no bottle
      E
So we   pray to Jesus and we play the lotto 
Like a bumpersticker, like a poor man’s model
B
  Times are troubled and time is borrowed
      E
So we   pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
