Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves

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

I was out last night drinkin' beer with the guys

Got an achin' head and blood shot eyes

I met up with a pretty little dame

I didn't even know her name

Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

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

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

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

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

Diesel smoke, dangerous curves
