[D]
I just pulled onto the highway in my little foreign car, well it's raining and the road is really bad.
I never saw that big ol' diesel but I heard him hit the air, I've got a feeling that I [A] might have [D] made him mad.
He closed the gap between us, pushed the pedal on the floor, he's making 90 in that big ol' diesel truck.
I can hear the names he's calling me above the engines roar, and the words won't be found in Webster's book.
[G] There's a diesel on my tail, I'm making 90 miles an hour, [D] my reflection in my mirror [A] is mighty pale.
[D] I can hear St.
Peter calling, [G] I can almost [D] smell the flowers, can this bump-back take the impact?
[A] There's a diesel [D] on my tail.
Well I'm hooked and I try to make the grade, and I wish I [A] had some pedals [D] on this car.
And I'm slipping and sliding, and afraid to touch the brake, while this doodlebug could never stand a jar.
[G] There's a diesel on my tail, I'm making 90 miles an hour, [D] my reflection in my mirror is [A] mighty pale.
[D] I can hear St.
Peter [G] calling, I can almost [D] smell the flowers, can this bump-back take the impact?
There's a diesel on my tail.
[A] [D] Well I'm slipping and sliding, trying to hold it in the road, and I'll tell you I just [A] got to [D] win this race.
While I'm trembling and shaking, he's a-pouring on the coal, so close that I could steal his license plate.
[G] There's a diesel on my tail, I'm making 90 miles an hour, [D] my reflection in my mirror is [A] mighty pale.
[D] I can hear St.
Peter calling, [G] I can almost [D] smell the flowers, can this bump-back take the impact?
[A] There's a diesel [D] on my tail.
Can this bump-back take the impact?
[A] There's a diesel [D] on my tail.
