Story behind the song
I know it probably isn't, but I always think of the job as a bit glamorous!
Lyrics
THE DIESEL SONG Verse 1 My daddy was a long haul truck driving man Didn't see too much of him at home While he was off driving all around the world There was only me to look after Mom But as time went by and I grew quite high I began to hear the call of the road When it's said and done, I'm my daddy's son And I've got diesel in my blood Verse 2 Teachers used to tell me that if I worked hard I would really make the grade someday But the first time I saw a freightline yard I knew it could be no other way The only grades I ever knowed Wuz writ on poles at the side of the road When it's said and done I'm my daddy's son I've got diesel in my blood Hook And the only place I wanna be Is behind the wheel gettin' outta here Outward bound with the hammer down I've got diesel in my blood Verse 3 For three years I worked at almost anything That paid enough to save for my own rig The first time I climbed in and fired her up Was the greatest thing I ever did Momma cried the day I said goodbye And I took off for the open road When it's said and done I'm my daddy's son I've got diesel in my blood. Verse 4 I often think about the boys I knew back home With their mortgages and stay home lives They're content I guess to sit behind a desk In an office working nine to five But that life's not for me and I thank God I'm free As I take off with another load When it's said and done I'm my daddy's son And I got diesel in my blood Hook And the only place I wanna be Is behind the wheel gettin' outta here Outward bound with the hammer down I've got diesel in my blood
