The wreck on the highway
written by Dorsey Dixon
performed by Townes van Zandt (Highway Kind)
D
Who did you say it was brother?
A
Who was it fell by the way?
D
When whiskey and blood run together
A D
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.
When I hear the crash on the highway
I knew waht it was from the start
I went to the scene of destruction
And a picture was stamped on my heart.
There was whiskey and blood all together
Mixed with glass where they lay
Death played her hand in destruction
But I didn't hear nobody pray.
I wish I could change this sad story
That I am now telling you
But there is no way I can change it
For somebody's life is now through.
Their soul has been called by the Master
They died in a crash on the way
And I heard the groans of the dying
But, I didn't hear nobody pray.
Chorus
