[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Well, I left California with a trailer load of oranges
G D
I was heading down Georgia way
D
Met an old pal of mine with a load of watermelons
E7 A7
When we stopped for a coffee break
D
We were way ahead of schedule, running brand new rigs
G D
We decided we could kill a little time
G D B7
We could wait a little longer, have a drink a little stronger
E7 A7 D
But we wound up out of our minds
[Verse 2]
D
Well, now, you can't get much out of melons down in Georgia
G D
So I gotta turn and head her toward home
D
I gotta find my buddy with my trailer load of oranges
E7 A7
And I don't even know where he's gone
D
It's just my luck to get the wrong durn truck
G D
Now I got myself in one fine fix
G D B7
I don't claim to know it all, but I know that alcohol
E7 A7 D D7
And number two diesel don't mix
[Chorus]
G D
No, alcohol and number two diesel don't mix
A7 D
Now we're both a-running way behind
G D B7
We got our trucks mixed up, I got a load of watermelons
E7 A7 D
And I just crossed the Georgia line
[Interlude]
D
[Verse 3]
D
Now, my baby's been awaiting now from California
G D
For her man to come a-barrelling in home
D
I called and started to tell her about the oranges and the melons
E7 A7
She swore that I wasn't alone
D
Well, she'd done a lot of guessing and she asked a lot of questions
G D
And I heard the phone receiver click
G D B7
Then, she hung up on my call when I told her alcohol
E7 A7 D D7
And number two diesel don't mix
[Chorus]
G D
No, alcohol and number two diesel don't mix
A7 D
Now we're both a-running way behind
G D B7
We got our trucks mixed up, I got a load of watermelons
E7 A7 D D7
And I just crossed the Georgia line
G D B7
We got our trucks mixed up, I got a load of watermelons
E7 A7 D
And I just crossed the Georgia line
