Diesel On My Tail

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I just pulled on to the highway in my little foreign car Well, it's raining and the road is really bad Never saw that big old diesel, but I heard him hit the air I've got a feeling that I might have made him mad [Verse 2] He closed the gap between us, pushed the pedal on the floor He's makin' ninety in that big old diesel truck I can hear the names he's calling me above the engine's roar And the words won't be found in Webster's book [Chorus] There's a diesel on my tail a-making ninety miles an hour My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale I can hear St. Peter calling, I can almost smell the flowers Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail [Verse 3] Well, I'm huffin' and puffin' as I try to make the grade And I wish I had some pedals on this car Then I'm slippin' and a-slidin' and afraid to touch the brake For this doodlebug could never stand the jar [Chorus] There's a diesel on my tail a-making ninety miles an hour My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale I can hear St. Peter calling, I can almost smell the flowers Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail [Verse 4] Well, I'm slippin' and a-slidin' trying to hold it on the road And I'll tell you, I just got to win this race While I'm tremblin' and a-shakin', he's a-pouring on the coal So close that I can steal his license plate [Chorus] There's a diesel on my tail a-making ninety miles an hour My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale I can hear St. Peter calling, I can almost smell the flowers Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail
