Diesel Drivin' Daddy - Lyrics - Aaron Watson

Watson was born in Amarillo, Texas and attended Abilene Christian University, where he began learning guitar, after playing junior college baseball in New Mexico. He gigged around Texas before releasing his debut album, A Texas Cafe; the follow-up, Shuttupanddance, was a regional sales success. His 2004 album, The Honky Tonk Kid, was produced by Ray Benson and features an appearance from Willie Nelson. Watson's band is called the Orphans of the Brazos; they appear on his 2005 album, Live at the Texas Hall of Fame. In 2006, his San Angelo release hit No. 60 on the U.S. Billboard country charts and No. 50 on its Heatseekers chart.

Well my truck's wound up and it's ready to roll D I got a good buddy workin' for the Highway Patrol So if I get a ticket or two, It's gonna be alright But the sheriff and his boys they're in ??? D Unless they're out to lunch at the Dairy Queen They'll be itchin' to turn on those red, white, and blue Lights Well just like my daddy I was born a drifter I got a rebel heart and eight - ball shifter Horns on the hood and forty channel CB Well some things you never leave home without Like your Bible, log book, and your drivin' route And your Best Of Dale Watson on CD Cause I'm a diesel drivin' daddy Don't you get in my lane Puttin' the pedal to the medal Bringin' eighteen wheels of pain I've been in love Broke some hearts Settled down long enough to replace the parts Kicked a little *** Fought along the way There's a lonely life livin' on the road When the only friend you've got is the radio And even he fades in and out every now and then But maybe someday you'll find the right one (Everyone I'm sorry, but I can't understand a word he says on this line) Knows how to get that big ole rig to spin Chorus I'm a panhandlin' manhandlin' Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes Of hard Amarillo highway Chorus Up and down that *** tonkin' highway They end the song by playing these chords pretty quick, so just use barre chords. I apologize for some of the lyrics...I know they're off a little.
