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