Wreck On The Highway lyrics

Song information

Artist: John Wesley Harding
Album: Awake: The New Edition

Lyrics

[A] who did you say it was brother?
Who was it fell by the [e] way?
When [a] whiskey and blood run together
Did you hear [e] anyone [a] pray?

Chorus
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
I [d] didn't hear nobody [a] pray
I heard the crash on the highway
But, I didn't hear [e] nobody [a] pray

When I heard the crash on the highway
I knew what 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
