Drivin’ Fool

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I pulled over at a little truck stop just outside El Paso, Texas one night Gonna try to get a cup of coffee and wake up Walked inside and sat down beside this old truck driver We started yappin' Next thing you know, we're playin' cards He beat the socks off of me Then it came time for us to go So we walked outside, I headed for my rig, he headed for his But just before he climbed up in that cab I saw him get down on his knee and I heard him say this little prayer [Chorus] Lord, every day, help me make the grade Help me pull my weight down the long highway Keep my coffee hot and may my brakes stay cool Lord, please take care of this drivin' fool [Verse 2] Keep my hands steady on the wheel Keep me in control of this chrome and steel My only prayer is Lord that You Keep taking care of this drivin' fool [Bridge] In the pourin' rain and the hot sunshine When the blinding snow hides the long white line If it's rough or if it's smooth Lord, please take care of this drivin' fool [Verse 3] And as he drove away, I thought, "Now there's a man Living every day giving all he can" And then it dawned on me maybe we should too 'Cause ain't we all just drivin' fools? [Bridge] In the pourin' rain and the hot sunshine When the blinding snow hides the long white line If it's rough or if it's smooth Lord, please take care of this drivin' fool [Outro] Lord, please take care of this drivin' fool
