Mama hated diesels so bad
                D                                                 G                                            D  
I guess I knew it was something to do with dad
             G                                                                                                            D                                                         Bm  
The first time I ever seen her cry, was after one of them things went by
          D                                                 G                              D  
Mama hated diesels so bad
          D                                                         G                              D  
I remember hearin' those semis gearing down
          D                                                                                                                            A  
My mom and me lived right on the high grade end of town
          G                                                                                                                                                                                 D  
I sure loved them white freighters, but there was somethin' in Mama's eyes
                                                                                                                                     A                                                              D  
when she'd catch me watching the road, lord, a little bitty piece of her died
     D                         G                      D  
Mama hated diesels so bad
          D                                                    G                                              D  
I guess I knew it was something to do with dad
             G                                                                                                            D                                                    Bm  
The first time I ever seen her cry, was after one of them things went by
          D                      G                    D  
Mama hated diesels so bad
(Spoken)
     D                                                                                                 G  
As the years passed and I grew older, mama did too
     D  
Pretty soon she stopped singin' and    laughin', well, she'd hardly even eat
  A  
I began staying away from home on the weekdays, and wouldn't come home from school till'
way after dark
     G  
I was always too busy havin' fun, either messing around with some girl or hanging aroun
the truckstop
     D  
or talking too my buddies about about the big rigs that were all the time rollin' in
                                                                                                                                                  A  
Or talking about all the crazy places we never been, like California
(Spoken)
        D                                                                                                            G  
Well, one day the county sheriff came up to me
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                D                                                                                                                                                                                    G  
He said they found my mama wandering all by herself in the middle of the highway cryin'
                                                                  A  
She was trying of all things Lord, to flag down one of them rigs with a pocket                      handkerchief
          G  
Well, that left me all on my own
(Spoken)
             G  
I got a job unloadin' rigs down at the local frieght yard
             D  
Pretty soon I got a rig of my own and I left hometown on my very first runt to Frisco
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                A  
That was three years ago today, and I ain't been home in all that time since then, till now
(Sing)
                                          D                                                            G                                                            D  
Now it's me and the local preacher, standing in the graveyard grass
                                                                                          A  
Staring down at the highway, watching those big boys pass
                                                G                                                      D  
Well he laid his hand upon me and he prayed for quite some time
     D                                                                                                                    A                                                    D  
I could barely understand the words he said behind that highways whine
(Spoken)
                                                     D                                                                 G                                                    D  
He handed me a faded photograph, he said he found it in my mama's hand
                                                     D                                                                                    A  
He said , I'm afraid you and this picture were the best your mama ever had
          G                                                                                                      D                              Bm  
Well I looked down at that picture, it was Mama and some guy
                D                                                                              A                                                              D  
standing beside a semi- truck, "just married" written on the side
                D                 G                    D  
Mama hated diesels so bad
                D                                              G                                              D  
I guess I knew it was something to do with dad
             G                                                                                                         D                                                      Bm  
The first time I ever seen her cry was after one of them things went by
             D                      G                 D  
Mama hated diesels so bad
