Текст песни Eighteen Wheels and Jesus - Tony Justice

On a long and lonesome highway
Just south of Birmingham
With a load of steel on 18 wheels
Was a tired truck drivin' 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

Waitin' back in ole Kentucky
Was his precious family
His three kids and lovin' wife
Were down on bended knees
Like all the nights before
They asked God to keep him safe
That night their prayers were needed
At Mile Marker 98

It was 18 wheels and Jesus
That went flyin' off that road
Over the hill, into the trees
How he survived, nobody knows
He must have rode on wings of angels
They cushioned all the blows
It was 18 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
But tears of happiness
Streamed down her pretty face
And we knew we still had dad
'Cause of God's amazing grace

It was 18 wheels and Jesus
That went flyin' off that road
Over the hill, into the trees
How he survived, nobody knows
He must have rode on wings of angels
They cushioned all the blows
It was 18 wheels and Jesus
That brought my daddy home

Mmm-hm, home
