Lyrics Wreck on the Highway - Hank Locklin

Wreck on the Highway

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
