The Wreck on the Highway

But there is no way I can change it
Their soul has been called by the Master
But I didn't hear nobody pray
Mixed with glass where they lay
I didn't hear nobody pray
They died in a crash on the way
I heard the crash on the highway
And a picture was stamped on my heart
Did you hear anyone pray?
I didn't hear nobody pray
I wish I could change this sad story
I knew what it was from the start
For somebody's life is now through
There was whiskey and blood all together
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
I heard the crash on the highway

Death played her hand in destruction
When whiskey and blood run together
But I didn't hear nobody pray
I didn't hear nobody pray
I went to the scene of destruction

I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
That I am now telling you
But I didn't hear nobody pray

I heard the crash on the highway

But I didn't hear nobody pray
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
And I heard the groans of the dying

When I heard the crash on the highway
