Overloaded Diesel

I picked you up in Dallas just about a week ago

You were a married woman, but you know, I didn't know

Now your man's a-burnin' rubber off a standard stick

We lost him up in Tulsa but he's catchin' up quick

This overloaded diesel's haulin' too much freight

For racin' into Memphis with an Olds 88

I'm hopin' and a-prayin' that we'll make Little Rock

So you can hop another tractor at the coffee stop

Fort Smith was a ball, I've gotta call the whole trip fun

But I think about your husband and I get a vision of a gun

I don't wanna hire the cemetery boys to dig

Gotta stop this rollin' party, try to hide my rig

This overloaded diesel's haulin' too much freight

For racin' into Memphis with an Olds 88

I'm hopin' and a-prayin' that we'll make Little Rock

So you can hop another tractor at the coffee stop

I wish you'd-a told me I was stealin' you away

You'd be waitin' tables yet, back there in that café

Every light in the mirror scares me half to death

And that tailgatin' fool much more than all the rest

This overloaded diesel's haulin' too much freight

For racin' into Memphis with an Olds 88

I'm hopin' and a-prayin' that we'll make Little Rock

So you can hop another tractor at the coffee stop
