Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves

[Verse 1]
I'm a-drivin' this truck on a mountain road
I got a hot rod rig and I'm a-flyin' low
My eyes are filled with diesel smoke
Hairpin curves ain't no joke
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

[Verse 2]
I was out last night drinkin' beer with the guys
Got an achin' head and blood shot eyes
I ended up with a pretty little dame
I didn't even know her name
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

[Verse 3]
If I deliver this hot shot freight
I gotta get a-goin', 'cause I'm runnin' late
These mountain grades are mighty steep
I can't stay awake, I ain't had no sleep
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
There's a cute little waitress at the bottom of the grade
She's got the coffee already made
I gotta keep my eyes upon the road
'Cause I'm goin' down the hill with a heavy load
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

[Verse 5]
Well, I must have closed my eyes for a while
'Cause here I am, and I'm a-runnin' wild
I bark my brakes, strip my gears
Gonna have to ride her down I fear
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

[Verse 6]
I wish I'd left the women alone
But it's too late now, 'cause I think I'm gone
I got myself into this fix
Just because I tried to mix
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

[Outro]
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves
