It's the middle of the night near the Indiana line
I'm Pulling in a Christian station
The signals crystal clear
But I can not really hear
What he says about the revelation
I'm wretched I am tired
But the preacher is on fire
And I wish I could believe
Whoever watches over all these truckers
Show a little mecy for a weary sinner
And deliver me
Lord deliver me deliver me to the next best western
Did he who made the lamb
Put the tremble in his hand
That reaches out to take my quarter
I look him in him the eye
There isn't any time
Just time enough to pass the tender
The highway takes its toll
The green light flashes go
It's welcome to Ohio
Whoever watches over all these truckers
Show a little mecy for a weary sinner
And deliver me
Lord Deliver me deliver me to the next best western
It takes light years of nothing to let these stars shine through
And it's an empty road that finds it's way back home to you
It's 4AM on 80 East
It's in the nature of the beast
To wonder if there's something missing
I'm wretched I am tired
But the preacher is on fire
And I wish I could believe
Whoever watches over all these truckers
Show a little mecy for a weary sinner
And deliver me
Lord deliver me deliver me to the next best western
Next best western to the next best western
