The Wreck on the Highway
[Verse 1]
Well, who did you say it was, brother?
Who was it fell by the way?
I heard the wreck on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray
[Chorus]
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
I heard the wreck on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray
[Verse 2]
Whiskey and blood run together
Mixed in the glass as they lay
I heard the screams of the dying
But I didn't hear nobody pray
[Chorus]
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
I heard the wreck on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray
[Verse 3]
When I heard the crash on the highway
I knеw what it was from the start
I went to the scеne of destruction
And a picture was stamped on my heart
[Chorus]
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
I heard the wreck on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray
