C
It's the middle of the night

What he says about the Revelation

I am wretched, I am tired
C
But the preacher is on fire
G D
And I wish I could believe
CHORUS:
Am C C-D
Whoever watches over all these truckers
Am C C-Am
Show a little mercy for a weary sinner
D Am
And deliver me, Lord deliver me
C G C Am D G
Deliver me to the next Best Western
C
Did he who made the lamb
Am
Put the tremble in the hand
D G
That reaches out to take my quarter
C
I look him in the eye
Am
There isn't any time
D Am
Just time enough to pass the tender
Bm
The highway takes its toll
C
The green light flashes go
G D
And it's 'Welcome To Ohio'

Am C C-D
Whoever watches over all these truckers
Am C C-Am
Show a little mercy for a weary sinner

And deliver me, Lord deliver me
