I pulled over at a little truck stop just outside
el Paso Texas one night gonna
try to get a cup of coffee n wake up, walked

inside sat down beside this old truck driver,
we started yappin next thing u no
were playin cards, he beat the socks off me,

then it came time for us to go..
so we walked outside i headed for my rig he headed for his but just before he climbed up in
that cab i saw him get down on his knee and i heard him say this little prayer

Lord everyday, help me made the grain, help me pull my way down the long highway, keep my coffee hot and may my breaks stay
cool, lord please take care of this drivin fool, keep my hands steady on the wheel, keep me in control of this chrome and
steel, my only prayer is lord that you, keep takin care of this drivin fool

In the pourin rain and the hot sunshine, when the blindin snow hides the long white line..if its rough or if its smooth,
lord please take care of this drivin fool

As he drove away,i thought now theres a man living everyday giving all he can, then it dawned on me maybe we should to cause
aint we all jus drivin fools

In the pourin rain and the hot sunshine, when the blindin snow hides the long white line..if its rough or if its smooth,
lord please take care of this drivin fool....lord please take care of this drivin fool
