Diesel Drivin' Daddy Aaron Watson
Well my tru[A]ck?s wound up and it?s ready to roll
I got a [D]good buddy workin? for the Highway Patrol
So if [E]I get a ticket or two, It?s gonna be alright [A]
But the sh[A]eriff and his boys they?re in Estilline
Unless they?re o[D]ut to lunch at the Dairy Queen
They?ll be [E]itchin? to turn on those red, white, and blue
l[A]ights
[A]Well just like my daddy I was born a drifter
[D]I got a rebel heart and eight - ball shifter
[E]Horns on the hood and forty channel [A]CB
Well some things you never leave home without
[D]Like your Bible, log book, and your drivin? route
[E]And your Best Of Dale Watson o[A]n CD
Chorus:
Cause I?m a di[E]esel drivin? daddy [D]
Don?t you get [A]in my lane
Puttin? the pe[E]dal to the medal [D]
Bringin? eig[A]hteen wheels of pain
I?ve been in lo[D]ve
Broke some he[E]arts
Settled down long e[A]nough to replace the p[D]arts
Kicked a lit[D]tle
[E]Asphalt along the [A]way
There?s a lonely life livin? on the road
When the only friend you?ve got is the radio
And even he fades in and out every now and then
But maybe someday you?ll find the right one
That'll shift the gears and let ya ride shotgun
Knows how to get that big ole rig to spin
Chorus
[A]I?m a panhandlin? manhandlin?
Post holin? high rollin? dust bowlin? da[D]ddy
[E]I ain?t got no blood in my veins
I just got them four lanes
Of hard Amarillo h[A]ighway
Chorus
Up and d[E]own that honky t[D]onkin? h[A]ighway
