Verse 1
Floodlights cut through the early dawn
Pit wakes up when the key gets turned on
Steel ladder climb, cab way high
Iron throne up in the sky
Engine coughs then it hits full scream
Whole damn ground starts shakin’ beneath
Straight pipe bark, feel it in my chest
This machine don’t know how to rest
Pre-Chorus
Redline breath, turbo cry
Every shift feels do-or-die
Chorus
I can’t stop — addicted to the diesel
Crank it loud, make it sound evil
Big tires hum, let the bed slam steel
This ain’t luck — this is real
Burnt fuel smoke, blood runs steel
I can’t stop addicted to the diesel
Verse 2
Rock hits hard like a shotgun blast
Suspension groans but it still outlasts
Uphill crawl with a full damn load
Every pound tryin’ to break this road
Office lights don’t mean a thing
I live where the haul roads sing
Hands shake black from grease and grit
I don’t back down — I commit
Pre-Chorus
Slow and heavy, built to fight
King of the pit, day or night
Chorus
I can’t stop — addicted to the diesel
Turbo scream sounds lethal
Payload heavy, retarder squeal
White-knuckle grip on the wheel
Dirt-born soul, forged in steel
I can’t stop addicted to the diesel
Bridge (Breakdown)
TURN IT UP
LET IT ROAR
IRON GODS DEMAND MORE
SMOKE AND FLAME
RIP THE GROUND
HAUL ROAD KING — BOW DOWN
Guitar Break / Instrumental
(chugging riffs, engine-rev samples)
Final Chorus
I can’t stop — addicted to the diesel
No cure, no rehab, no needle
From blast zone dust to crusher wheel
Every load earned, signed in steel
Till the last key turns, last deal
I can’t stop addicted to the diesel
Outro
Kill the lights… engine ticks…
Tomorrow morning — I’m back in it
