Lyrics

Who did you say it was brother? Who was it who fell by the way? When whiskey and blood run together Did you hear anyone pray? I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray When I heard the crash on the highway I knew what it was from the start I went to the scene of destruction And a picture was stamped on my heart There was whiskey and blood all together Mixed with glass where they lay Death played her hand in destruction But I didn't hear nobody pray I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray I wish I could change this sad story That I am now telling you But there is no way I can change it For somebody's life is now through Their soul has been called by the Master They died in a crash on the way And I heard the groans of the dying But I didn't hear nobody pray I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray
