#1  I Was a Wreck on the Highway

“Who did you say it was, brother? Who was it fell by the way?
When whisky and blood run together, did you hear anyone pray?

“I didn’t hear nobody pray, dear brother, I didn’t hear nobody pray.

I heard the crash on the highway, but I didn’t hear nobody pray.”

                  —Roy Acuff, Wreck on the Highway

I can’t keep doing the same old things,
         you just start stinkin’ if you don’t change
’Cause there’s a longing in my heart, that went to light from dark

How I love those great old songs, you know I sung ’em all night long

It’s in my heart and in my soul, a moon for light, a sun for gold

Chorus:  ’Cause I was a wreck on the highway,  I fell by the way
         I was a wreck on the highway, but thank God somebody prayed

You see people everyday, with their minds blown away
With my own eyes I walk the street, oh what’s gone down to defeat

So here’s to you and here’s to me, and to our destiny
May a gladness fill your heart that we’re here to impart

Repeat Chorus

Here’s to Lightnin’ and Muddy too, and all my heroes of the blues
Brownie and Sonny and the Lord did bleed for the soul of Jimmy Reed

Here’s to Hank, Acuff and Jones, and Jimmie Rodgers, rest his bones
Here’s to Bob Dylan and the few, and the doors that they went through

I’m just dust pound for pound and this song is on the ground
It’s not too pretty and it ain’t too smooth but my soul sings the truth

And no one knows this heart of mine except the Father of all time
But I lift my song when no one sees, it’s just between Him and me

Repeat Chorus
