Trucker's Prayer Lyrics - Dave Dudley

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 up a Greyhound bus 

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 till it's a crime 

Well even when I'm empty gettin' all that she's gotten high 

They're blowin' their horns and flash them lights on just fly on by 

But you know if I had me a rig I'd do about a hundred under the 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 

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 up a Greyhound bus
