Wreck on the Highway

(Dorsey Dixon)



Who did you say it was brother

Who was it fell by the way

When whiskey and blood ran together

Did you hear anyone pray?



When I heard the crash on the highway

I knew what is was from the start

I went to the scene of destruction

A picture was stamped on my hreart.



I didn't hear nobody pray dear brother

I didn't hear nobody pray

I've heard the crash on the highway

But I didn't hear nobody pray.



The whiskey and blood ran together

Mixed up with the glass where they lay

Death played her hand in distraction

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

Somebody's life is now through.



I didn't hear nobody pray dear brother

I didn't hear nobody pray

I've heard the crash on the highway

But I didn't hear nobody pray...
