Eighteen Wheels and Jesus

On a long and lonesome highway Just south of Birmingham With a load of steel on 18 wheels Was a tired truck drivin' man A long hard week and not much sleep Had began to take its toll They said he never hit his breaks As he left the road Waitin' back in ole Kentucky Was his precious family His three kids and lovin' wife Were down on bended knees Like all the nights before They asked God to keep him safe That night their prayers were needed At Mile Marker 98 It was 18 wheels and Jesus That went flyin' off that road Over the hill, into the trees How he survived, nobody knows He must have rode on wings of angels They cushioned all the blows It was 18 wheels and Jesus That brought my daddy home You know to this day I still remember The look on my momma's face Dad walked through the front door And they began to embrace But tears of happiness Streamed down her pretty face And we knew we still had dad 'Cause of God's amazing grace It was 18 wheels and Jesus That went flyin' off that road Over the hill, into the trees How he survived, nobody knows He must have rode on wings of angels They cushioned all the blows It was 18 wheels and Jesus That brought my daddy home Mmm-hm, home
