Verse 1
D
Mama hated diesel so bad
I guess I knew it was
somethin' to do with Dad
G
The first I ever seen her cry
D
Bm
was after one of them things went by
D
G
D
Mama hated diesels so bad
Now I remember hearing those
G
D
semis yearin' down
See, Mama and me lived right
A
on that high grade in the town
G
I sure liked them white Freightliners,
D
but there was something
in Mama's eye
When she'd catch me
watchin' the road,
A
D
Lord, a little bitty piece of her died
Mama hated diesels so bad
I guess I knew it was something
to do with Dad
G
Now the first I ever seen her cry
D
Was after one of them
Bm
D
things went by
G
D
Mama hated diesel so bad
As the years passed and I grew older
G
D
Naturally, Mama did too
It wasn't too long before she just
quit singing and quit laughing
A
I got to where she'd hardly even eat
G
And me, I began spending all my time
away from home
I wouldn't get back from school
D
till way past dark
I guess I was just too busy
havin' some kind of fun
A
Either messin' around with some gal or
Or else hangin' around the
local truck stop
Talkin' with my buddies
about all the big rigs
it was all the time rollin' in
And all the crazy places we'd never been
Like California
D
One day the county sheriff
came up to me and
G
He said that he'd found my mama
D
Wanderin' all by herself
in the highway,
A
cryin' and tryin' of all things, Lord.
Flagged down one of them
big ol' semis
G
with nothin' but a little bitty white
pocket handkerchief.
D
Well, that left me on my own,
and I got a job unloadin' rigs,
and I saved up enough to
get me one of my own.
A
And I left my hometown
on my first run to San Francisco.
Well, that was three years ago today,
and I ain't been back
home in all that time
since then, till now.
D
Now it's me and the local preacher,
G
D
standing in the graveyard grass,
staring down at the highway
A
watching those big boys pass.
G
He laid his hand upon me
D
and he prayed for quite some time
but I could barely understand
A
the words he said behind
D
that highway's wind.
But he handed me a faded old photograph,
G
D
he said he found it in my mama's hand.
He said, son,
I guess you know that you and this picture
A
is the very best your mama ever had.
G
So I looked down at that picture,
D
it was mama and some guy,
standing in front of a semi -truck,
A
D
Just married, painted on the side
A
D
Mama hated diesel so bad
I guess I knew it was
something to do with Dad
G
The first I ever seen her cry
D
Was after one of them things went bad
Bm
D
G
D
Mama hated diesel so bad
G
Mama hated diesel so bad
D
