[Verse 1]
Sun not up
Keys in my hand
Coffee in a thermos
Old work pants
Gravel in the driveway
Frost on the hood
That diesel coughs once
Then it’s runnin’ good
[Chorus]
Diesel trucks
Mud on the tires
Rollin’ through a small-town
Wake-up choir
Chrome stack smokin’
Workin’ man roots
Heart full of dust
Diesel on my boots
[Verse 2]
Two-lane strip
Past the feed store sign
Wave at old man Miller
Same route, same time
Payroll in the glovebox
Hay in the back
Phone on the dash
Dog on the sack
[Chorus]
Diesel trucks
Mud on the tires
Rollin’ through a small-town
Wake-up choir
Chrome stack smokin’
Workin’ man roots
Heart full of dust
Diesel on my boots
[Outro]
Sun goes down
Tailgate view
Whole day gone
But I ain’t through
Park it by the porch light
Shut her down smooth
Thank God for diesel
And these worn-out boots
