1.) "Moonlight Drive in a Diesel"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
Well, I took my baby for a moonlight drive
In a diesel
She sure was cute in her little white suit
In a diesel
We searched in vain down Lovers' Lane
In a diesel
But it's rough to find a place with enough parking space
On a moonlight drive in a diesel
[Verse 2]
I've been out four days on a two day run
In a diesel
You can't make much time when you're two days behind
In a diesel
Got another gal at home, been waiting all alone
For this diesel
Well, I might make a slip that'll give her a tip
About my moonlight trip in a diesel
A#
[Verse 3]
Well, we even tried to go to a drive-in show
In a diesel
But that mean old ticket man said we couldn't get in
No diesel
When we left that place, we blowed smoke in his face
From this diesel
'cause it's breaking baby's heart, we can't find a place to park
On a moonlight drive in a diesel
B
[Verse 4]
It's a-getting daylight, I've been driving all night
In a diesel
Been running up and down every alleyway in town
In a diesel
How can you spark when there's no place to park
In a diesel
The man that made the console, bucket seats didn't know
About a moonlight drive in a diesel
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.) "White Lines and Roadside Signs"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]
[Intro]
G D A7 D
[Chorus]
White lines and roadside signs
White lines and roadside signs
[Verse 1]
I've spent my life behind the wheel
Of a big red diesel hauling steel
Making a living for those kids of mine
D A7 D
Keeping to the right of the little white lines
[Verse 2]
D G
I can recall, when I was a boy
A homemade truck was my only toy
I would save the feedsack twine
And use it in the dirt for my little white line
[Chorus]
White lines and roadside signs
White lines and roadside signs
[Interlude]
G D A7 D
[Verse 3]
D G
I'm so proud that my life's been good
D A7 D
For travel and reading broadens your mind
And I've read a lot of those roadside signs
[Verse 4]
D G
When I die, Lord, mark my way
So this truck driver won't go astray
The gates of heaven, I'll surely find
By keeping to the right of the little white line
[Chorus]
White lines and roadside signs
White lines and roadside signs
White lines and roadside signs
White lines and roadside signs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.) "Too Many Stops"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]
[Intro]
E A
[Verse 1]
A
There's a lot of habits I know that I should break
Like dating every waitress at all the stops I make
Because the last thing that I heard my little woman say
Is, "Don't make too many stops along the way"
[Chorus]
There's just too many stops along the way
Not nearly time enough for making hay
A man like me needs more than 24 hours in a day
'cause there's just too many stops along the way
[Interlude]
E A
[Verse 2]
There's at least one girl at every stop I make
Counting every minute 'til I take my break
Because I've got just what it takes and they all want me to stay
But there's just too many stops along the way
[Chorus]
There's just too many stops along the way
Not nearly time enough for making hay
A man like me needs more than 24 hours in a day
'cause there's just too many stops along the way
[Interlude]
E A
[Verse 3]
My log's booked up in advance, you see
And the pace I'm keeping is almost killing me
But you can bet I won't give up until my dying day
Although there's too many stops along the way
[Chorus]
There's just too many stops along the way
Not nearly time enough for making hay
A man like me needs more than 24 hours in a day
'cause there's too many stops along the way
'cause there's too many stops along the way
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.) "Motorcycle Bill"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
D
[Chorus]
D A7
Motorcycle Bill was the name on his black leather jacket
When he climbed on that wheel, you couldn't hear your ears for the racket
He'd pull the throttle open and go thundering up the hill
A7 D
Both pipes blazing with Motorcycle Bill
[Verse 1]
D A7
Everybody said he was a young and reckless boy
That high speed and danger was his greatest joy
They said he was a fool for the way that he rode
A7 D
Nothing but a menace to the people on the road
[Verse 2]
D A7
Then, one day, when Bill was riding like he did
He met a school bus loaded down with kids
The driver screamed, "I can't slow it down!
The brakes are gone!" and Bill wheeled around
[Verse 3]
For he knew there was a car stalled down at the bottom of the hill
If he couldn't win the race, someone would surely be killed
So he pulled the throttle open, like a bullet, he did go
And helped the man push the car from the road
[Verse 4]
D A7
Just in time for the school bus to pass safely through
He might have been a fool, but the thing the fool will do
From that day on, when he rode for a thrill
I heard not a word against Motorcycle Bill
D#
[Chorus]
D# A#7
Motorcycle Bill was the name on his black leather jacket
When he climbed on that wheel, you couldn't hear your ears for the racket
He'd pull the throttle open and go thundering up the hill
A#7 D#
Both pipes blazing with Motorcycle Bill
A#7 D#
Both pipes blazing with Motorcycle Bill
A#7 D#
Both pipes blazing with Motorcycle Bill
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.) "The Old Sleeper Cab"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
D
[Chorus]
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
I'm always on the road, rolling on
Any highway, state or interstate's my lawn
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
[Verse 1]
My house number's just a decal on the door
That old stack's just my chimney with a roar
I got a windshield picture window for a view
And a radio to drive away the blues
[Chorus 2]
This old sleeper cab's the only home I've got
No matter if I'm on the road or not
I got a bucket seat to rest my weary soul
And 16 forward gears to let 'er roll
[Chorus 3]
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
No trucker ever leaves the road for long
I've quit a hundred times, I thought I could
But now I know, the road is in my blood
D#
[Verse 2]
When I start to get too old to gear it down
And the lines on the road are growing dim
I'll find a roadside park just out of town
Mount my mailbox on her hood and settle down
[Chorus]
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
I'm always on the road, rolling on
Any highway, state or interstate's my lawn
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home
This old sleeper cab's my home sweet home

[Intro]
C F
G7 C
[Verse 1]
For 22 years of my 42 years
C G7 C
I've been driving big trucks
That's a lot of time spent without a scratch or a dent
And I think I've been pushing my luck
So as soon as I pulled into Memphis today
I hope I can make it by five
I'm signing my papers and walking away
I'm quitting while I'm still alive
[Chorus]
I'm quitting while I'm still alive
That diesel smoke's ruining my nose and my eyes
After 22 years of that noise in my ears
I'm quitting while I'm still alive
[Guitar Solo]
C F
C G7
C F
G7 C
[Verse 2]
I've seen too many punks, wild driving drunks
These fellows [???] marked for life
Seen too many men and too many rigs
Burn up in a hot, hellish sight
Now my kidneys are shot and what sense I've still got
I'm using to try to survive
Go tell all the jocks that my rig's on the block
I'm quitting while I'm still alive
[Chorus]
I'm quitting while I'm still alive
That diesel smoke's ruining my nose and my eyes
After 22 years of that noise in my ears
I'm quitting while I'm still alive
After 22 years of that noise in my ears
I'm quitting while I'm still alive

7.) "Diesel Drivin' Donut Dunkin' Dan"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]
[Intro]
A
That diesel-driving donut-dunking Dan
[Verse 1]
He comes in and orders donuts
And a big glass of milk
And the line he hands the waitresses
Is just as smooth as silk
Before too long, they're calling him
Their big truck-driving man
That diesel-driving donut-dunking Dan
[Chorus]
D A
Diesel-driving donut-dunking Dan
Known from coast to coast as the man with a plan
He's got the girls all a-waiting for that pretty wedding band
That diesel-driving donut-dunking Dan
[Guitar Solo]
D A D
A G E C A
[Verse 2]
He puts money in the jukebox
And turns it way up high
The girls all rush to wait on him
While he gives them the eye
Before he leaves, he's got 'em making
A D
All their wedding plans
That diesel-driving donut-dunking Dan
[Chorus]
D A
Diesel-driving donut-dunking Dan
Known from coast to coast as the man with a plan
He's got the girls all a-waiting for that pretty wedding band
That diesel-driving donut-dunking Dan

8.) "The Only Shoulder (A Trucker Can Cry On)"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
G7
[Chorus]
N.C.
'cause it's the
G7
Only shoulder
And it's the lonely shoulder
But it's the only shoulder
A trucker can cry on
[Verse 1]
When I roll this truck a thousand miles from home
It seems the distance puts me in this world alone
And when my heart gets as heavy as my load
I pull over on the shoulder of the road
[Chorus]
N.C.
'cause it's the
G7
Only shoulder
And it's the lonely shoulder
But it's the only shoulder
A trucker can cry on
[Interlude]
G7
G7
G7
[Verse 2]
You'd never think that a big truck driver cries
Why, he's as tough as steel, got a heart that's cold as ice
It just ain't true, but just another trucker knows
Why I'm pulled over on the shoulder of the road
[Chorus]
N.C.
'cause it's the
G7
Only shoulder
And it's the lonely shoulder
But it's the only shoulder
A trucker can cry on
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got a lowdown feeling, truck driver's blues

The last time they got me, I spent three days in jail
But the boss man told me to let those big wheels roll
There's a big bonus waiting if you get by the highway patrol

Well, I'll be alright if I can keep 'em in sight
A7 D
[Interlude]

If I can get by that highway patrol

[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
For Alcoholics Anonymous
There's a number you can call
E
We need one for a man that gets
Hung up on an old pinball
It's payday night, and there's a man
Who's a-gonna try his luck
A working man and an old machine
And both of them lit up
[Chorus]
You better call... Pinball Anonymous
He's playing that thing again
He's got the 17 and the 20
Now he's a-trying to get the 10
Spent 40 dollars on an extra ball
And tilted that thing again
You better call... Pinball Anonymous for him
[Verse 2]
A traveling man leads a lonely life
And the chance of fame is small
So he gets his kicks from a roll of nickels
And a little ol' silver ball
E
Pinball in the truck stops
All over the U.S.A.
When you get hooked on that old machine
You'll hear somebody say
[Chorus]
You better call... Pinball Anonymous
He's playing that thing again
He's got the 17 and the 20
Now he's a-trying to get the 10
Spent 40 dollars on an extra ball
And tilted that thing again
You better call... Pinball Anonymous for him

If you get hooked on the pinball
You'll sure regret the day
'cause you'll go broke a nickel at a time
And you'll hear somebody say
[Chorus]
You better call... Pinball Anonymous
He's playing that thing again
He's got the 17 and the 20
Now he's a-trying to get the 10

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