When I heard the crash on the highway I knew what it was from the start

I went to the scene of destruction, and a picture was stamped on my heart

Mixed with the glass where they lay

Death laid her hand in destruction

A E E7
I wish I could change this sad story that I am now telling you
A E A
But there is no way I can change it, for somebody's life is now through
A
Their soul has been called by the master
E E7
They died in a crash on the way
A
I heard the throes of the dying
E A
But I didn't hear nobody pray
[Chorus]
A D A
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
D A
I didn't hear nobody pray
A
I heard the crash on the highway
E A
But I didn't hear nobody pray
