Lyrics

I just pulled on to the highway in my little foreign car Well, it's raining, and the road is really bad Never saw that big old diesel, but I heard him hit the air I've got a feeling that I might have made him mad He closed the gap between us, pushed the pedal on the floor He's makin' 90 in that big old diesel truck I can hear the names he's calling me above the engine's roar And the words won't be found in Webster's book There's a diesel on my tail, a-making 90 miles an hour My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale I can hear Saint Peter calling, I can almost smell the flowers Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail Well, I'm huffin' and puffin', as I try to make the grade And I wish I had some pedals on this car Then I'm slippin' and a-slidin' and afraid to touch the brake For this doodlebug could never stand the jar There's a diesel on my tail, a-making 90 miles an hour My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale I can hear Saint Peter calling, I can almost smell the flowers Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail Well, I'm slippin' and a-slidin' trying to hold it in the road And I'll tell you, I just got to win this race While I'm tremblin' and a-shakin', he's a-pouring on the coal So close that I can steal his license plate There's a diesel on my tail, a-making 90 miles an hour My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale I can hear Saint Peter calling, I can almost smell the flowers Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail Can this compact take the impact? There's a diesel on my tail
