Don't ask me where this came from today - I'm not an overly-religious person. Nonetheless, we all have moments...I think this one will be joined up with my guitar later.
A Trucker's Prayer
(c) Eddie Minyard (BMI)
V1
The wind blows the snow 'cross this cold mountain highway
Like a hawk chasin' after a hundred white snakes
And I'm tryin' hard to keep the shiney side up
Workin' the clutch and avoidin' the brakes
Chorus
Oh Lord, help me get though this long winter night
Past this dark, lonely stretch
To the safety of the Light
Just ride here beside me
Till we make the next town
I'd feel a lot better
If You'd hang around
V2
Been many a trucker that's lost all they had
By hammerin' down with no fear of the dark
With nothing to guide them, but an old GPS
Might have been better off with this prayer in their hearts
Chorus
Oh Lord, help me get though this long winter night
Past this dark, lonely stretch
To the safety of the Light
Just ride here beside me
Till we make the next town
I'd feel a lot better
If You'd hang around
Yes I always feel better
Knowin' You're hangin' 'round
