It's the middle of the night near the Indiana line

The signals crystal clear
C C/B Am
But I can not really hear
D
What he says about the revelation
Am C G
I'm wretched I am tired
C
But the preacher is on fire
G D
And I wish I could believe
Am C/B C D
Whoever watches over all these truckers
Am C/B C
Show a little mecy for a weary sinner
Am
And deliver me
D Am C G C Am D
Lord deliver me deliver me to the next best western
G C
Did he who made the lamb
C C/B Am
Put the tremble in his hand
Am D
That reaches out to take my quarter
G
I look him in him the eye

There isn't any time
Am D
Just time enough to pass the tender

The highway takes its toll

The green light flashes go

It's welcome to Ohio

And it's an empty road that finds it's way back home to you
