Diesel On My Tail Lyrics by Plainsong

In Search of Amelia Earhart

0

[Verse 1]
I just pulled onto the highway in my little foreign car
It was rainin' and the road was really bad
I don't recall that big ol' diesel, but I heard him hit the air
And I've a feeling that I might've made him mad
[Verse 2]
He closed the gap between us, pushed his pedal on the floor
Makin' ninety in that big ol' diesel truck
I can hear the names he's callin' above the engine's roar
And the words won't be found in Webster's book
[Chorus]
And there's a diesel on my tail makin' ninety miles an hour
My rеflection in my mirror is mighty pale
I can hear St. Pеter callin', 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 I'm puffin' as I try to make the grade
And I wish I had some pedals on this car
Then I'm slippin' and I'm slidin' and afraid to touch the breaks
Boy, this doodle bug could never stand the job
[Chorus]
And there's a diesel on my tail makin' ninety miles an hour
My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale
I can hear St. Peter callin', I can almost smell the flowers
Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail
[Verse 4]
As I'm slippin' and I'm a-slidin', trying to hold it in the road
And I can tell you I just got to end this race
While I'm tremblin' and I'm shakin', he's blowin' on the horn
So close that I could steal his license plate
[Chorus]
And there's a diesel on my tail makin' ninety miles an hour
My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale
I can hear St. Peter callin', I can almost smell the flowers
Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail
[Outro]
Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail
