The Trucker’s Last Ride
He traveled the roads
In years gone past
A life he chose and
Hoped it would last.
Driving all night
From state to state
Trying to get home
And arriving so late.
He parked his truck now
His engine has stopped
And those who love him
Their hearts have dropped.
He traveled the country
With a smile of great pride
Now he drives the streets of Heaven
On the trucker’s last ride.
“MAY GOD RIDE WITH YOU…10-4 AND GOODBYE
