Trucker’s Prayer

Lyrics

[Chorus] Thank you, Lord, for all the miles without an accident But I wanna ask one more favor before my life is spent Please, Lord, this once, before I turn to dust Let me run the wheels plumb off a Greyhound bus [Verse] You know, I have been running these highways in this old rig for a long, long time And I have been humiliated by them dang buses 'til it's a crime Well, even when I'm empty, gettin' all that she's got in high They blow them air horns and flash them lights and just fly on by But you know, if I had me a rig that'd do about a hundred under a great big load Well, I'd wind her up tight and I'd blow me one of them Grey-dogs plumb off the road So Lord, before my last run to the foot of them mighty golden stairs I hope there'll be an answer to this poor old trucker's prayer [Chorus] So thank you, Lord, for all the miles without an accident But I want to ask one more favor before my life is spent Please, Lord, this once, before I turn to dust Let me run the wheels plumb off a Greyhound bus
