Intro
C# F# C# G#/C#
Mama hated diesels so bad
C# F# C#
I guess I knew it was something to do with dad
F# C# A#m
The first time I ever seen her cry, was after one of them things went by
C# F# C#
Mama hated diesels so bad
[Verse 1]
C# F# C#
I remember hearin' those semis gearing down
C# G#
My mom and me lived right on the high grade end of town
F# C#
I sure loved them white freighters, but there was somethin' in Mama's eyes
C# G# C#
when she'd catch me watching the road, lord, a little bitty piece of her died
[Chorus]
C# F# C# G#/C#

C# F# C#
Mama hated diesels so bad
[Verse 2] (Spoken)
C# F#
As the years passed and I grew older, mama did too
C#
Pretty soon she stopped singin' and laughin', well, she'd hardly even eat
G#
I began staying away from home on the weekdays, and wouldn't come home from school till'
way after dark
F#
I was always too busy havin' fun either messing around with some girl or hanging around
the truckstop
C#
or talking too my buddies about about the big rigs that were all the time rollin' in
G#
Or talking about all the crazy places we never been, like California
[Verse 3] (Spoken)
C# F#
Well, one day the county sheriff came up to me
C# F#
He said they found my mama wandering all by herself in the middle of the highway cryin'
G#
She was trying of all things Lord, to flag down one of them rigs with a pocket handkerchief
F#
Well, that left me all on my own
[Verse 4] (Spoken)
F#
I got a job unloadin' rigs down at the local frieght yard
C#
Pretty soon I got a rig of my own and I left hometown on my very first runt to Frisco
G#
That was three years ago today, and I ain't been home in all that time since then, till now
[Verse 5] (Sing)
C# F# C#
Now it's me and the local preacher, standing in the graveyard grass
C# G#
Staring down at the highway, watching those big boys pass
F# C#
Well he laid his hand upon me and he prayed for quite some time
C# G# C#
I could barely understand the words he said behind that highways whine
[Verse 6] (Spoken)
C# F# C#
He handed me a faded photograph, he said he found it in my mama's hand
C# G#
He said , I'm afraid you and this picture were the best your mama ever had
F# C# A#m
Well I looked down at that picture, it was Mama and some guy
C# G# C#
standing beside a semi- truck, "just married" written on the side
[Chorus-Outro]
C# F# C# G#/C#
Mama hated diesels so bad
C# F# C#
I guess I knew it was something to do with dad
F# C# A#m
The first time I ever seen her cry was after one of them things went by
C# F# C#
