Bulr Ives - Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

I'm a drivin' this truck for a mountain road I got a hot rod rig and I'm a flyin' low

My eyes're filled with diesel smoke air fan curves ain't no joke

Diesel smoke dangerous curves

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

If I deliver this hot shot plate I gotta get a goin' cause I'm runnin' late

These mountain grades are mighty steep can't stay away there ain't had no sleep

Diesel smoke dangerous curves

[ guitar ]

There's a cute little waitress at the bottom of the grades

She's got hot coffee already made

I gotta keep my eyes upon the road cause I'm goin' down the hill heavy load

Diesel smoke dangerous curves

Well I must have closed my eyes for a while casuse here I am and I'm a runnin' wild

I turn my brakes strip my gears gonna have to ride her down I fear

Diesel smoke dangerous curves

I wish i'd left the wind alone but it's too late now cause I think I'm gone

I got myself into this fix just because I drive to mix

Diesel smoke dangerous curves diesel smoke dangerous curves
