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
Instrumental
As he drove away, I thought now theres a man
Living everyday giving all he can
And then it dawned on me maybe we should to
Cause ain't 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
