im a teenager and i love this song. it brings me to tears. so much better than katie parie... its patty griffin all the way while all the "pop artists" should be not even noticed.
I landed on this after viewing old films of Pittsburgh, not sure how that happened. didn't know the song/singer, or so I thought. then I recalled that I have actually seen her as the opening act for The Everly Brothers. We're talking mid-1980s. [the things one forgets!]
Mother Of God All you kids get out the back door I've never seen her this mad before She took all her favorite things down from the window And broke 'em all over her clean floor It's Saturday at the mansion The oldest boy walks with a slouch The young ones are wild in back of the house And she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch Something as simple as boys and girls Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time for an answer 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 I waited on them until I was Something as simple as boys and girls Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time for an answer So I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor One day I won't live here anymore 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 then lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time for an answer Can wait a long time for an answer
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I doubt I will be remembered but I hope someone else listens to this song and feels as good as I did. This day on earth.

Mother Of God
All you kids get out the back door
I've never seen her this mad before
She took all her favorite things down from the window
And broke 'em all over her clean floor
It's Saturday at the mansion
The oldest boy walks with a slouch
The young ones are wild in back of the house
And she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer
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
I waited on them until I was
Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer
So I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor
One day I won't live here anymore
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 then lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer
Can wait a long time for an answer
Heavenly day x
