Diesel Smoke

Standing by the door

Kissing my wife goodbye

Headed out on an East Texas run

She looked at me and smiled

Said I know you gotta leave

But honey when are you coming back home

I said this is all I know

I'm gonna try and hurry home

Oh but I've got this white line fever burning in my soul

Diesel smoke is in my blood

And I thought back to when I was young

Standing at the door

With my old man

I said dad I know you gotta leave

But when are you coming back home

He said just as soon as I can

Well I didn't know

Until I was grown

That he had that same damn white line fever

Burning in his bones

Passed it on

To his only son

I don't know what make a man

Keep trucking on

All I know is that I feel so at home

On this road all alone

This is all I know

I'm gonna try to hurry home

Oh but I got this white line fever burning in my soul

Diesel Smoke in my blood

Diesel Smoke in my blood

Diesel Smoke in my blood
