COWPIE Country Music Lyrics
Jim & Jessie
diesel on my tail
Words and music by Jim Fagan [D] I just pulled onto the highway in my little foreign car Well, it's raining and the [A7] road is really [D] bad Never saw that big old diesel, but I heard him hit the air I've got a feeling that I [A7] might have made him [D] mad. [D] He closed the gap between us, pushed the pedal on the floor He's makin' ninety in that [A7] big old diesel [D] truck I can hear the names he's callin' me above the engine's roar And the words won't be [A7] found in Webster's [D] book. CHORUS There's a [G] diesel on my tail a-making ninety miles an hour My reflection in my [D] mirror's mighty [A7] pale I can [D] hear St. Peter callin' I can [G] almost smell the [D] flowers Can this compact [Strum/Pause] take the impact [Strum/Pause] There's a [A7] diesel on my [D] tail. Well I'm huffin' and a-puffin', as I try to make the grade And I wish I had some pedals on this car Man, I'm slippin' and a-slidin' and afraid to touch the brake For this DOODLE BUG could never stand the jar. CHORUS Well, I'm slippin' and a-slidin', trying to hold it in the road And I'll tell you I've just got to win this race While I'm tremblin' and a-shakin', he's a-pourin' on the coal So close that I can steal his license plate. CHORUS TAG: Can this compact take the impact, there's a diesel on my tail.
