Addicted to the Diesel

Running through the long night, cutting the black 22 tons of steel on my back The smell of the morning just around the bend And when I get there I'll turn around and do it again Got an old Cal 50 shaking the ground Got adrenaline pumping to a rumbling sound I'm leaning on the hammer, picking up speed I'm a highway junky, there's a gipsy in me I'm addicted to the diesel I'm addicted to the diesel I'm loaded up, kicking and ready to ride I'm addicted to the diesel So addicted to the diesel I'm a sucker for the long white line And the truck town people I'm just addicted to the diesel Hey, yeah, honey, gonna be home soon But at the moment I'm out here chasing the moon It's hid behind a cloud at Neondaville But I hope to cut it off the other side of the hill Got my rock and roll radio driving me on Yeah, hey there Gretchen, won't you sing me a song About a hard, hard living and keeping it real I'm a free spirit outlaw, rebel on wheels I'm addicted to the diesel I'm addicted to the diesel I'm loaded up, kicking and ready to ride I'm addicted to the diesel So addicted to the diesel I'm a sucker for the long white line And the truck town people I'm just addicted to the road, the wind, the sound I'm rolling through the rain, the fog, the town I'm thinking 'bout the next road house Never slowing down I'm addicted to the diesel I'm addicted to the diesel I'm loaded up, kicking and ready to ride I'm addicted to the diesel So addicted to the diesel I'm a sucker for the long white line And the truck town people Addicted to the diesel
