One day when I was a little down on my luck
I stood on the highway in the rain
And I sent up a prayer for heaven-bound truck
And like and angel a diesel it came
Well the truck driver said
He was a good Chritian man
And He laid the salvation on thick
He held two plastic statues in the palm of his hand
And He told me to just take my pick
He said I keep mine face the highway
That dashboards a good place to stand
I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm going
Cause He already knows where I've been
Somewhere outside Texas we parted ways
And I kept his advice through the years
Whatever I'm ridin' I make sure it stays
Between the radio dial and the mirror
He said I keep mine face the highway
That dashboards a good place to stand
I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm going
Cause He already knows where I've been
He knows where I've drifted
He knows where I've sinned
He's there to make sure
I don't go there again
A guy like me needs all the help he can get
So I gentle reminder I'm not perfect yet
I keep mine face the highway
That dashboards a good place to stand
I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm going
Cause He already knows where I've been
I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm going
Cause He already knows where I've been
