From the recording Bel Esprit
Lyrics
Dispatch said there’s a storm ahead it’s coming down in droves
Got eighteen miles of downhill drivin', I'm carrying a heavy load
Been driving in the rain for hours, could use a real cold beer
But I’m gonna have a shot instead if I ever get outta here
Been hauling sticks of dynamite through the middle of the night
Just lit my final cigarette and my truck just caught on fire
Just lit my final cigarette and my truck just caught on fire
Now I don’t mind the rain sometimes, especially when I’m high
But Heaven’s far away from me. Hell’s fallin’ from the sky
Like cats and dogs and ping pong balls crashing down on me
The thunder claps, the lightning strikes and I can hardly see
This fires getting bigger now and I can't put it out
I'm slammin' hard down on the brakes but I'm not slowin' down
I'm slammin' hard down on the brakes but I'm not slowin' down
Well, Jesus if you're listening, I could use your help right now
Help me put this fire out and make my truck slow down
I promise I'll start drinkin' less and quit these cigarettes
I'll go to church on Sundays and pay off my gambling debts
I swear I'll be a better man if you hear my prayer today
I know that we don't talk too much, please listen to what I say
I know that we don't talk too much, please listen to what I say... and I say
Jesus won't you help me make it through
This fire's getting bigger now and I don't know what to do
This rig of mine ain't slowin' down and I can't see the road
Jesus won't you save my truckin' soul,
Oh, Jesus won't you help me make it through
This fire's getting bigger now and I don't know what to do
This rig of mine ain't slowin' down and I can't see the road
Jesus won't you save my truckin' soul
Oh, Jesus won't you save my truckin' soul
Jesus won't you save my truckin' soul
I said Jesus, won't you save my truckin' soul
I said Jesus, won't you save my truckin' soul
Well, I know that I have sinned
But I'm always on the road
