Mama Hated Diesels Songtext

von Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen

Farrell

Remember hearing those semis gearing down,
For me and Mumma, we lived right on the high grade into town,
And I sure loved those white freighter lights, but there was something in
My
Mumma's eyes,
When she'd catch me looking at them, why a little bit of her died.
Mumma hated diesels so bad,
I guess I knew it had something to do with Dad,
The first time I saw her cry, was when one of those things went by,
Mumma hated diesels so bad.
Now the years rolled along, they weren't kind to my poor Mum,
I didn't spend much time at home, I was busy having fun,
Then one day the county sherrif came and told me they had found,
A body by the side of the road, she'd been flagging diesels down.
Now it's just d the local preacher, standing in the grave yard grass,
He said he found this stuck in my s hand, it was a faded photograph,
I looked down at the picture, it was my Mumma and some guy,
Standing in front of a semi truck, "Just Married" written on the side.
