Narrative from Lyrics

Haven’t been in church since
I don’t remember when
Things were going great
Til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher
As he told me what to do
Said you can’t go hating others
who done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry
But we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do his job
And you just pray for them

I pray your brakes go out
Running down a hill
I pray and flower pot falls
From a window sill
And knocks you in the head like I’d like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray your flying high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are
Honey, I pray for you

Really glad I found my way to church
Cause I’m already feeling better and I thank God for the words
So I’m gonna take the high road
And do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messing up
And I’ll keep praying for you

I pray your tire blows out at 110
I pray you pass out with your best friend
And wake up with his and her tattoos

Wherever you are, near or far, in your house or in your car

Wherever you are honey, I pray for you

Setting:
The story is taking place everywhere in the mans life. It could be taking place at any time. The mood created is depressing and spiteful.

Possible Conflict:
It is an external man vs. man but it is also a little bit like man vs. circumstances. The man probably got cheated on to make him so angry.

Possible Resolution:
A few possible resolutions are the womans brakes could go out when she was driving down a hill, a flower pot could fall from a window sill and hit her in the head, or other unfortunate events. Another resolution could be him actually getting over her and the situation and forgetting about her.
