The truckers prayer

“The Trucker’s Prayer”
(Verse 1)
Sun’s barely risin’, coffee in my hand
Eighteen wheels hummin’ like a one-man band
Map lights glowin’, another long haul day
Before I drop that hammer, I bow my head and pray
(Pre-Chorus)
For every mile behind me and the ones ahead
For every close call I ain’t faced yet
(Chorus)
Lord, keep these tires on the ground tonight
Guide my hands and my headlights bright
Through the storm, through the dark, through the pouring rain
Get me back home safe again
Watch over the souls on this blacktop line
Every driver out here chasin’ time
From the load to the road, don’t let me stray
Amen—that’s a trucker’s prayer
(Verse 2)
White lines blur as the night rolls on
Lonely diesel heartbeat hummin’ my song
Pictures on the dash, kids and a smile
They’re the reason I’m pushin’ every mile
(Pre-Chorus)
So when my eyes get heavy and the road gets long
Keep me steady, keep me strong
(Chorus)
Lord, keep these tires on the ground tonight
Guide my hands and my headlights bright
Through the storm, through the dark, through the pouring rain
Get me back home safe again
Watch over the souls on this blacktop line
Every driver out here chasin’ time
From the load to the road, don’t let me stray
Amen—that’s a trucker’s prayer
(Bridge)
For the brothers lost on the highway’s edge
For the ones still ridin’ on a razor’s edge
Give us mercy when we’re runnin’ late
And a little grace at the weigh station gate
(Breakdown)
Yeah, it ain’t just steel and fuel we trust
It’s faith that keeps these wheels from dust
(Final Chorus)
Lord, keep these tires on the ground tonight
Hold me close ‘til the morning light
Through the miles, through the grind, through the endless air
Hear every trucker’s prayer
And when I pull in that gravel drive
With my whole world waitin’ outside
I’ll thank You for every mile You gave
Amen—that’s a trucker’s prayer
(Outro)
Engine winds down… silence in the air
Another run carried by a trucker’s prayer 🚛
