I'm a drivin' this truck for a mountain road
I got a hot rod rig and I'm a flyin' low
My eyes're filled with diesel smoke
Hairpin curves ain't no joke
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

I was out last night drinkin' beer with the guys
Got an achin' head and blood shot eyes
I ended up with a pretty little dame
I didn't even know her name
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

If I deliver this hot shot plate
I gotta get a goin' cause I'm runnin' late
These mountain grades are mighty steep
'Can't stay away there ain't had no sleep
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

There's a cute little waitress at the bottom of the grades
She's got the coffee already made
I gotta keep my eyes upon the road
'Cause I'm goin' down the hill heavy load
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

Well I must have closed my eyes for a while
'Cause here I am and I'm a runnin' wild
I burn my brakes, strip my gears
Gonna have to ride her down I fear
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

I wish I'd left the woman alone
But it's too late now cause I think I'm gone
I got myself into this fix, just because I drive to mix
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves
