Did he who made the Clamb
Put the tremble in the Amhand
That reaches out to take Dmy quarterG

The highway takes its Bmtoll
The green light flashes Cgo
And it's 'Welcome To OGhiDo'

INTRO:

It's the middle of the night

Near the Indiana line

I'm pulling in a Christian station

I am wretched, I am tired

But the preacher is on fire

Whoever watches over all these truckers

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

Did he who made the lamb

Put the tremble in the hand

D G

That reaches out to take my quarter

I look him in the eye

There isn't any time

Just time enough to pass the tender

The highway takes its toll

The green light flashes go

And it's 'Welcome To Ohio'
