Oil, grease and diesel
Oil, grease and diesel
Oil, grease and diesel
Believe I feel it pumping through my blood
Now mama hated diesel trucks
My daddy never did say much
I mis-spent my youth just waitin' up
Until I got that lonesome highway call
Them wind-screen wipers slappin' time
Dreamin' 'bout that girl of mine
I know I'll be searchin' 'til I find
Marilyn Monroe in oil-stained overalls
Ruby was the truck-stop queen
I'd stop by for a little love-caffeine
She take me down and show me things I'd never seen
Ruby come and Ruby steal my heart away
She'd do fish and she'd do fries
The way she served up that cherry pie
I got my first taste I thought I'd die
Coming back for more and more each day
But I was just a little kid
I'd dream 'bout what the big guys did
Drive those demon diesel dumper trucks
Smokin' down that long and dusty road

Just looking up at the "related videos" to the right of this page; nice to see there's Bill Kirchen, Merle Haggard and Alabama up there - my heroes!
