There's a Diesel on my Tail
as performed by us...


(A)I just pulled on to the highway in my little foreign car
Well it’s raining and the (E7)road is really (A)bad
I never saw that big old diesel but I heard him hit the air
I’ve got a feeling that I (E7)might have made him (A)mad

He closed the gap between us pushed the pedal on the floor
He’s makin’ ninety in that (E7)big old diesel (A)truck
I can hear the names he’s calling me above the engine’s roar
And the words won’t be found in (E)Webster’s (A)books

   There’s a (D)diesel on my tail a-making ninety miles an hour
   My re(A)flection in my mirror is mighty (E7)pale
   I can (A)hear St.Peter calling I can (D)almost smell the (A)flowers
   Can this compact take the impact there’s a (E7)diesel on my (A)tail (A/ E7/A)

Well I’m huffin’ and puffin’ and I’m trying to make the grade
And I wish I had some (A7)pedals on this (A)cart
And I’m slippin’ and a-slidin’ and afraid to touch the brake
For the two of us could (E7)never stand the (A)jar

Well I’m slippin’ and a-slidin’ trying to hold it on the road
And I tell you I just (E7)got to win this (A)race
While I’m tremblin’ and a-shakin’ he is pouring on the coal
So close that I can (E7)steal his license (A)plate
