[A] [Bm]
[A]
Thank you, Lord, for all the miles [E] without an accident.
But I want to ask just one more favor before [D] my life is spent.
[A]
Please, Lord, just [A] once, before [D] I turn to dust,
Let [E] me ride the wheeled plumb on a [A] greyhound bus.
[D] [C#m] [Bm]
[A] You know I've been running these highways [E] in this old rig for a long, long time.
And I have been humiliated by [E] them dang buses [D] till it's a crime.
[A]
And even when I'm empty and given it all, she's gotten [D] high.
Why, [E] they just blow them air horns and flash them lights and [A] fly right on by.
Now [Bm]
[A] if I had me a big rig [E] that'd do about a hundred under a great big load,
Well, I'd wind her up tight and [D] blow me one of them grey dogs [A] plumb off the road.
So, Lord, before my last run [D] up one of them mighty golden stairs,
[E] I hope there will be an answer to [A] this poor old trucker's prayers.
But thank you, Lord, for all the miles [E] without an accident.
But I really do want to ask just one more favor [D] before my [F#m] life is spent.

[E] Let me ride the wheeled plumb on a [A] greyhound bus.
