diesel song

[jaynes]

I was just listening to a radio station that was playing some old country tunes, and I heard a song by some guys named Jim & Jesse, and the song was called "Diesel On My Tail". Probably one of the coolest songs, being a god honest diesel fanatic and all. It's now my new theme song. I'd suggest it if you haven't heard it!

DIESEL ON MY TAIL

Recorded by Jim and Jesse McReynolds

Words and music by Jim Fagan



[D] I just pulled onto the highway in my little foreign car

Well, it's raining and the [A7] road is really [D] bad

Never saw that big old diesel, but I heard him hit the air

I've got a feeling that I [A7] might have made him [D] mad.



[D] He closed the gap between us, pushed the pedal on the floor

He's makin' ninety in that [A7] big old diesel [D] truck

I can hear the names he's callin' me above the engine's roar

And the words won't be [A7] found in Webster's [D] book.



CHORUS

There's a [G] diesel on my tail a-making ninety miles an hour

My reflection in my [D] mirror's mighty [A7] pale

I can [D] hear St. Peter callin'

I can [G] almost smell the [D] flowers

Can this compact [Strum/Pause] take the impact [Strum/Pause]

There's a [A7] diesel on my [D] tail.



Well I'm huffin' and a-puffin', as I try to make the grade

And I wish I had some pedals on this car

Man, I'm slippin' and a-slidin' and afraid to touch the brake

For this DOODLE BUG could never stand the jar.



CHORUS



Well, I'm slippin' and a-slidin', trying to hold it in the road

And I'll tell you I've just got to win this race

While I'm tremblin' and a-shakin', he's a-pourin' on the coal

So close that I can steal his license plate.



CHORUS



TAG: Can this compact take the impact, there's a diesel on my tail.







Oo.
