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 a Heaven-bound truck And like an angel a diesel it came The truck driver said he was a good Christian man And he laid the salvation on thick He held two plastic statues in the palm of his hand And told me to just take my pick He said, "I keep my face in the highway That dashboard's a good place to stand I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm goin' 'Cause He already knows where I've been" Somewhere across Texas, we parted ways But I kept his advice through the years Whenever I'm drivin', I make sure it stays Between the radio dial and the mirror And I keep my face in the highway That dashboard's a good place to stand I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm goin' '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 as a gentle reminder, I'm not perfect yet And I keep my face in the highway That dashboard's a good place stand I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm goin' 'Cause He already knows where I've been I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm goin' 'Cause He already knows where I've been
