the plea

mama, this highways gonna kill me, and mama, i think my rose is wilting, the kids and her alone while i'm so far from home, i feel so guilty, mama, this highways gonna kill me, i hope the road that takes me there will always bring me back, but i guess whatever will be, will be, mama this highways gonna kill me, woman, i wish i couldn't hurt you, and woman, it's clear i don't deserve you, i know it seems i only need you when i ain't got nowhere else to turn too, so woman, i wish i wouldn't hurt you, i'm sure there's some relief in giving up and moving on, and sometimes it seems way too much to work through, woman i never meant to hurt you, lord, i beg of you protect me, cause lately, swear the devil's out to get me, it ain't a leap of faith to say he always prays upon the unsuspecting, so lord, i beg of you protect me, i can't walk with you if the devil got my hand, i hope you have my back and direct me, jesus i beg of you protect me, jesus, don't let'em get me
