Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) A truck on the highway
was (G major) born fully red, (D major)
shattered (A major) and battered (D major) all through. (A major)
A (D major) crowd gathered round it,
the (G major) wounded today, (D major)
one (A major) dy ing boy there to (D major) view.
He was a driver, he said (G major) to his (D major) friend,
(A major) You've heard this message,
(D major) my word is to (A major) end.
(D major) God bless my mother,
she's (G major) always a (D major) friend,
Always a (A major) friend to the (D major) end.
Mother, please listen, God (G major) holds the (D major) line,
(A major) Gives me permission (D major) this
message to (A major) send.
I (D major) was not drinking or
tasting the wine,
(A major) When I came rounding the (D major) bend.
Wounded and weary,
this (G major) lad with a (D major) heart,
(A major) told me the cause of the (D major) rape. (A major)
Said (D major) that the drunkards
who were (G major) driving their (D major) car,
showed any (A major) thing but respect. (D major)
They had a spotlight,
(G major) shined it on (D major) him,
caus (A major) ing his sight (D major) to be dimmed. (A major)
(D major) God in his mercy can't (G major) blame it on (D major) him.
(A major) God cannot blame it on (D major) him. (G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
When you are driving,
there's (G major) others to (D major) mind,
Good (A major) men and bad (D major) men of every kind. (A major)
God (D major) gave the Bible a (G major) straight, narrow way. (D major)
(A major) He doesn't want us to (D major) stray.
Drivers, be careful and (G major) follow the (D major) rule.
The (A major) rule that is golden (D major) all through. (A major)
Do (D major) unto others as (G major) you would be (D major) done.
(A major) Follow the prayer of this (D major) Son.
Mother, please listen, God (G major) holds the (D major) line,
Give (A major) me permission (D major) this mess is to (A major) spend.
(D major) I wasn't drinking or
pasting the wine,
When I (A major) came rounding (D major) the bend.
