Wreck On The Highway Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

[A] Who did you say it was brother? 

Who was it fell by the [E] way? 

When [A] whiskey and blood run together 

Did you hear [E] anyone [A] pray? 

CHORUS 

I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother 

I [D] didn't hear nobody [A] pray 

I heard the crash on the highway 

But, I didn't hear [E] nobody [A] pray. 

When I heard the crash on the highway 

I knew what it was from the start 

I went to the scene of destruction 

And a picture was stamped on my heart. 

There was whiskey and blood all together 

Mixed with glass where they lay 

Death played her hand in destruction 

But I didn't hear nobody pray. 

I wish I could change this sad story 

That I am now telling you 

But there is no way I can change it 

For somebody's life is now through. 

Their soul has been called by the Master 

They died in a crash on the way 

And I heard the groans of the dying 

But, I didn't hear nobody pray. 

CHORUS
