Wreck on the Highway - Hank Locklin

Who did you say it was brother

Who was it fell by the way

When whiskey and blood ran together

Did you hear anyone pray?

(Gene)

When I heard the crash on the highway

I knew what it was from the start

I went to the scene of destruction

And the picture was stamped on my heart.

(Both)

I didn’t hear nobody pray dear brother

I didn’t hear nobody pray

I’ve heard the crash on the highway

But I didn’t hear nobody pray.

(Gene)

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.

(George)

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.

(Both)

I didn’t hear nobody pray dear brother

I didn’t hear nobody pray

I’ve heard the crash on the highway

But I didn’t hear nobody pray.

(Gene)

Their soul has been called by the Master

They died in the crash on the way

I heard the groans of the dying

But I didn’t hear nobody pray.

(Both)

I didn’t hear nobody pray dear brother

I didn’t hear nobody pray

I’ve heard the crash on the highway

But I didn’t hear nobody pray.

No, I didn’t hear nobody pray
