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 got a few [E] things I've been wanting to say to you guys for a long [C] time.
And I think right now is a good time to do it.
Like, did you [D] know that me and [F] just 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 flicking signal lights to help someone pass.
[E] So, you've just [F] gotta be good people.
Like some I've had the pleasure of meeting.
Down to earth, hard [G]-working family.
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] _
[A] Course it boils down to this.
[C] If everyone would drive like you guys do, there'd be a lot [D] less accidents and deaths [F] on the highway.
So truck driver, buddy, you're appreciated more than you'll ever [G] know 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 a truck stop, Mary's Cafe in Cairo, Illinois.
Now this prayer means a lot to him and I think it [E] will you too.
So, [F] if you will, give a listen 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 past [C] and 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. _ _
