Diesel Smoke

Lyrics

I just left McAllen today With fruit for the north, no stops along the way Gotta keep them wheels a-rollin', no time to fool around I hear that engine moanin' as I lay the hammer down From grind into the high, and then I'm flyin' I got tears in my eyes, but I'm not cryin' Just because I'm coughing, it's no joke, heh-heh I just can't stand that diesel smoke Storm clouds were gatherin' outside Smoke from the engine filled my eyes Sunday drivers I can't see to pass I need a windshield wiper on both sides of the glass From grind into the high, and then I'm flyin' I got tеars in my eyes, but I'm not cryin' Just becausе I'm coughing, it's no joke I just can't stand that diesel smoke A rig comin' from the other way Was blinkin' his lights, the bulls were out preying Ease up on the throttle, and cut the mixture lean Drop her back to scat when I pass that radar screen Well, from grind into the high, and then I'm flyin' I got tears in my eyes, but I'm not cryin' Just because I'm coughing, it's no joke I just can't stand that diesel smoke Four years in the barn as a sailor Ten years on the road pullin' trailers That much fresh air now would make me croak After all these years smellin' diesel smoke From grind into the high, and then I'm flyin' I got tears in my eyes, but I'm not cryin' Just because I'm coughing, it's no joke, heh I just can't stand that diesel smoke
