Del Reeves - Diesel on My Tail lyrics

I just pulled onto the highway in my little foreign car Well it's rainin' and the road is really bad Never saw that big ole diesel but I heard him hit the air I got a feeling that I might have made him mad There's a diesel on my tail a making ninety miles an hour And 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 Well he closed the gap between us pushed the pedal on the floor He's makin' ninety in that big ole diesel truck Hear the names he's callin' me above the engine's roar And the words won't be found in Webster's book There's a diesel on my 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 Then I'm slippin' and a slidin' and afraid to touch the brake For this doodle bug could never stand the jar There's a diesel on my tail... Well I'm slippin' and a slidin' tryin' to hold it in the road And I tell you I 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 licence plate There's a diesel on my tail...
