Just checked out on my first run
Found 18 -wheelers ain't all fun
Highways that I've never rode
Diesel smoke on Danger Road
Got my schedule by my side
And my throttles open wide
Feeling nervous, heavy load
Diesel smoke on Danger Road
Just this morning, Papa said,
Get your hide out of that bed.
You ain't a man until you know,
Diesel smoke on danger road.
Through the pass and down the grade,
You should have seen the time I've made,
But there's dangers yet I'm told,
that was when I learned the score
Can't use brakes on ice and snow,
diesel smoke, all danger low
Railroad crossin' farther on,
thunder as the whistle blows,
diesel smoke on Danger Road,
if the smoke don't hit the fan,
that I might live to be a man.
Just two miles till I'm low.
Diesel smoke on Danger Road.
