Blue Collar Prayer

Verse 1 Coffee brewing in the kitchen light While the whole world’s still asleep tonight Boots by the door and keys in my hand Another long run and miles to stand I open up the pages of that worn-out Bible Thank the Lord for another day Pray for my family and these roads ahead Then ease that diesel out of the shed Chorus It’s a blue collar prayer From a hard-working man Lord watch over the ones I love And guide these wheels from above Keep me steady on these long highways Through the rain and the rolling storms Cause this life gets heavy and hard to bear So I start every morning with a blue collar prayer Verse 2 Headlights cutting through the Tennessee dawn Radio low while the miles roll on Coffee cup riding beside the seat Diesel humming underneath my feet Some nights lonely, some days rough Sometimes this road gets more than tough But I know I ain’t riding alone The good Lord’s with me till I make it home Chorus It’s a blue collar prayer From a hard-working man Lord watch over the ones I love And guide these wheels from above Keep me steady on these long highways Through the rain and the rolling storms Cause this life gets heavy and hard to bear So I start every morning with a blue collar prayer Bridge I pray for my children and the woman I love For grace and mercy from Heaven above For safe travels down these white line roads And strength to carry another load Cause a man can only do so much alone Sometimes faith is what gets you home Final Chorus It’s a blue collar prayer From a worn-out soul Thanking God for another sunrise And the porch light waiting every night Through every mile and every hard year The Lord’s been faithful bringing me here And as long as these wheels keep rolling somewhere I’ll start every morning with a blue collar prayer
