[Verse 1]
Rolling out at sunrise, wheels hum a steady beat,
A thermos full of coffee and the smell of asphalt heat.
The diesel fumes come wafting, oh they hit me like a charm,
Lord, I’m gripping on the wheel, trying to keep my thoughts disarmed.
[Chorus]
Diesel and coffee, they get me riled inside,
Like a love song to my senses, a fire I can’t hide.
Down the highway I am fighting, to keep my mind in line,
But diesel and coffee make this old heart pine.
[Verse 2]
Stopped for a fill-up, the pump clicks into place,
The scent of that diesel, it’s like a warm embrace.
The truck stop waitress winks, says, “You look wound up tight,”
I tip my hat, hit the road, Lord, my focus takes flight.
[Chorus]
Diesel and coffee, they get me riled inside,
Like a love song to my senses, a fire I can’t hide.
Down the highway I am fighting, to keep my mind in line,
But diesel and coffee make this old heart pine.
[Bridge]
I see that open road ahead, but my thoughts, they go astray,
Dreaming of exhaust and java beans, in the strangest way.
My rig keeps on a’rolling, but my mind’s a restless tide,
Diesel fumes and caffeine dreams keep pulling me to the side.
[Verse 3]
The radio is crackling, a trucker’s lonesome tune,
But the mix of diesel and coffee has me howling at the moon.
I roll the window down, hoping air will clear my mind,
But the sweet smell of the highway’s got me in a bind.
