A TRUCKER’S BLESSING                       copyright Michael Warner 2016.
chorus
May your wheels steer straight and your truck be strong
May your loads be clean and stable
May your days be bright and your journeys rich
To keep food upon your table

May your destination smile with friendships ever new
And Willing hands that help on your travel
May your tank be wisely filled and your engine finely tuned
Be happy as your road unravels.

verse 1
Every trucker know the anger that drives the bitter tongue
That makes you miss your turnings and leave your straps undone
It’s the anger which burns the bitterness inside
It’s a cargo that is better left behind.

verse 2
And truckers know the weariness that comes with hours long
The struggle to stay focused and not to do things wrong
Give yourself the sleep that is the cure for heavy eyes
The simple gift that cannot be denied.
