Lyrics Eighteen Wheels and Jesus - Tony Justice

On a long and lonesome highway just south of Birmingham
With a load of steel on eighteen wheels was a tired truck driving man
A long hard week and not much sleep had began to take its toll
They said he never hit his breaks as he left the road
Waiting back in ole Kentucky was his precious family
His three kids and living wife were down on bended knees
Like all the night before, they asked God to keep him safe
That night their prayers were needed at mile marker ninety-eight
It was eighteen wheels and Jesus that went flying off that road
Over the hills into the trees, how he survived nobody knows
He must have rode on wings of angels and they took all the blows
It was eighteen wheels and Jesus that brought my daddy home
You know to this day I still remember
The look on my momma's face
Dad walked through the front door and they began to embrace
Tears of happiness streamed down her pretty face
And we knew that we still had dad because of God's amazing grace
It was eighteen wheels and Jesus that went flying off that road
Over the hills, into the trees how he survived nobody knows
He must have rode on wings of angels and they took all the blows
It was eighteen wheels and Jesus that brought my daddy home
