[G] [F] [G] [C]
I got something kind of special [E] [F] I'd like to say to all you truck drivers out
there who might be listening right now.
[G] Also a truck drivers prayer that I'd
like [Em] to pass along [F] to you because I think it's kind of [C] special too.
But first
[G] now I got a few things I've been [F] wanting to say to [G] you guys for a [C] long time and I
think right now is a good time to do it.
Like [E] did you know [F] that me and [Abm] just about
[F] everyone in country music who travel [Bb] a lot [F] have nothing but the highest respect
[G] for you the truck driver.
[C] Cause it's a [G] fact that some of the best drivers are
truck [C] drivers [Fm] and the most [C] safety minded, the most courteous, and the first to stop
and help when there's trouble.
And little things like blinking signal lights to
help someone pass.
So [F] you just gotta be good people.
Like some I've had the
pleasure of meeting.
Down to earth hard-working family [G] men and a lot of you
like our country music and that makes [F] you okay in my book.
Sounds like I'm
[C] blowing smoke don't it?
But I'm not.
Cause it [G] boils down to this.
[A] If everyone [G] would
drive like [C] you guys do there would be a lot less accidents and deaths on the
highway.
So [F] truck driver, buddy you're [C] appreciated [B] more than [F] you'll ever know
and we salute you.
[G] Now for the prayer.
Now this truck [Em] driver's prayer was sent to me
[G] [C] by a truck driver from Oklahoma City.
He found it at a truck stop Mary's Cafe in
Cairo, Illinois.
Now this prayer means a lot to him and I think it will you too.
So if
you [F] will give a listen and see if it isn't your prayer too.
[G]
[F] Dear God above, bless this
truck I drive [C] and help me keep someone alive.
[G] Be my [C] mortal site [G] this day [C] on
streets where little children play.
Bless my helper fast asleep [F] when the night is
long indeed and keep my cargo safe and sound [G] through the hours of digging round.
Make my judgment sound as steel and be my hands [C] upon the wheel.
Bless the
traveler going past and [Am] teach him not to go [C] so fast.
Give me strength for every
trip so I may [E] care for what [C] they ship [F] and make me mindful every mile that life
is just [G] a little while.
Amen.
