[G]It's the middle of the night [C]near the Indiana line[C/B]
[Am]I'm Pulling in a [D]Christian station
[G]The signals crystal clear
[C]But I can not re[C/B]ally [Am]hear
What he says about the [D]revelation
[Am]I'm [C]wretched I am t[G]ired
But the preacher is on [C]fire
And I wish I could [G]believe[D]
Whoever watches over [Am]all [C/B]these [C]trucker[D]s
Show a little mecy for a w[Am]eary[C/B] s[C]inner
[Am]And deliver me
[D]Lord deliver me [Am]deliver me to the [C]next best [G]western[C] [Am] [D]
[G]Did he who made the [C]lamb
[C]Put the [C/B]tremble in his [Am]hand
[Am]That reaches out to [D]take my quarter
[G]I look him in him the eye
[C]There isn't [C/B]any [Am]time
[Am]Just time enough to [D]pass the tender
[Am]The [C]highway takes its to[G]ll
[G]The green light flashes g[C]o
It's welcome to [G]Oh[D]io
Whoever watches over [Am]all [C/B]thes[C]e truck[D]ers
Show a little mecy for a w[Am]eary[C/B] s[C]inner
[Am]And deliver me

[C/B] [Am] [D] [G]
It takes light years of nothing to let these stars shine through
[C]And it's an [Am]empty road that finds it's way back ho[C]me to you[D]
SOLO
[G]It's 4AM on 80 East
[C]It's in the nature of the [Am]beast
[Am]To wonder if there's [D]something missing
[Am]I'm [C]wretched I am [G]tired
But the preacher is on [C]fire
And I wish I could [G]believe[D]
Whoever watches over [Am]all [C/B]these [C]trucker[D]s
Show a little mecy for a w[Am]eary[C/B] s[C]inner
[Am]And deliver me
