I got something kinda special I'd like to say to all you truck drivers out there who might be listening right now
|
Also a truck drivers prayer I'd like to pass along to you
|
Cuz I think it's kind of special too
|
|
But first, Now I gotta few things I've been wanting to say to you guys for a long time
|
And I think right now is a good time to do it
|
|
Like did you know that me and just about everyone in country music who travel a lot
|
Have nothing but the highest respect for you the truck driver
|
Cuz its a fact that some of the best drivers are truck drivers
|
And the most safety mindedl, the most courteous and the first to stop and help when there's trouble
|
|
And little things like blinking signals lights to help someone pass
|
So you just gotta be good people
|
Like some I've had the pleasure of meeting
|
Down to earth, hard-working family men
|
|
And a lot of you like our country music and that makes you okay in my book
|
Sounds like Im blowing smoke, don't it
|
But I'm not
|
Cuz it boils down to this,
|
|
If everyone would drive liek you guys do
|
There would be a lot less accidents and deaths on the highway
|
So truck driver, buddy, you are appreciated more then you'll ever know
|
And we salute you, now for the prayer
|
|
Now this truck drivers prayer was sent to me, by a truck driver from Oklahoma City
|
He found it in a truck stop, Mary's Cafe in Cahokia, Il
|
|
Now this prayer means a lot to him
|
And I think it will you too, so if you will give a listen
|
And see if it isn't your prayer too
|
|
Dear God above bless this truck I drive
|
and help me keep someone alive
|
Be my mortal sight this day
|
on the street where little children play
|
|
Bless my helper fast asleep when the night is long
|
and keep my cargo safe and sound
|
through the hours big and round
|
|
Make my judgment sound as steel
|
and be my hands upon the wheel
|
|
Bless the traveler going past
|
and teach them 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
|
that life is just a little while....Amen
