Diesel Drivin' Daddy Aaron Watson
Diesel Drivinâ?? Daddy
Aaron Watson
Well my tru[A]ckâ??s wound up and itâ??s ready to roll
I got a [D]good buddy workinâ?? for the Highway Patrol
So if [E]I get a ticket or two, Itâ??s gonna be alrigh[A]t
But the sh[A]eriff and his boys theyâ??re in Estilline
Unless theyâ??re[D] out to lunch at the Dairy Queen
Theyâ??ll b[E]e itchinâ?? 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 drivinâ?? route
[E]And your Best Of Dale Watson o[A]n CD
Chorus:
Cause Iâ??m a [E]diesel drivinâ?? daddy [D]
Donâ??t you ge[A]t in my lane
Puttinâ?? the [E]pedal to the medal [D]
Bringinâ?? e[A]ighteen wheels of pain
Iâ??ve been in [D]love
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
Thereâ??s a lonely life livinâ?? on the road
When the only friend youâ??ve got is the radio
And even he fades in and out every now and then
But maybe someday youâ??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]Iâ??m a panhandlinâ?? manhandlinâ??
Post holinâ?? high rollinâ?? dust bowlin[D]â?? daddy
[E]I ainâ??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]onkinâ??[A] highway
