Lyrics:
down I fear
Diesel smoke dangerous curves
I wish I'd left the wind alone but it's too late now cause I think I'm gone
I got myself into this fix just
making me forget my past
Never thought I'd feel like that again
I came to peace with my path
Now you got me off track
I've never been this scared
Call on the funk
On guard!
Defend yourself!
Movin' in on you
Turn me loose
We shall overcome
Where'd you get that funk from, huh?
I still said
Call on the funk
On guard!
Defend yourself!
Movin' in on you
Turn me loose
We shall overcome
Where'd you get that funk from, huh?
I still said
blackness
Dusky diesel shudders in full cry.
Down redundant morning papers
Abandon crosswords with a cough
Stationmaster in his wisdom
Told the guard
off guard
As we gaze off at the distance through the trees in my back yard
I can feel that restless yearning of those geese as off they roam
Then
There's ice and snow on the northern roads
And the Jersey Pike is closed
Have to go and do some drivin' tonight
They say I'd be a fool if I would
You said I have to trust more freely
But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire
And maybe it's the past that's talkin'
Screamin' from the crypt
to ride her down I fear
Diesel smoke
Dangerous curves
I wish I'd left the wind alone but
It's too late now cause I think I'm gone
I got myself into
My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
I'd come whistling down your
would wait for that call to come in
When Daddy'd hang up then she was gone again
Mama was a looker
Lord, how she shined
Papa was a good'n
But
off guard
As we gaze off at the distance through the trees in my back yard
I can feel that restless yearning of those geese as off they roam
Then
People get ready there's a train coming
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is some faith to hear the diesels humming
would wait for that call to come in
When Daddy'd hang up then she was gone again
Mama was a looker
Lord, how she shined
Papa was a good'n
But
Battered buses jammed up to the roof
Dust and diesel the prevailing themes
Farmer sleeping on the truck in front
Feet trailing over like he's
I really thought I knew it all concerning sweet romance
'Cause when it came to purdy girls, I'd always take a chance
I felt that I could handle
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all
got to let your guard down
You better take a chance
A chance on love
Take chance on love
On love
In the valley of hearts there's a house full
to let your guard down
You better take a chance
A chance on love
Take chance on love
On love
In the valley of hearts there's a house full of broken
He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man
The only survivor of the National People's
Spent the summer on her daddy's farm
In the evening we'd walk along the railroad
We'd hear that lonesome whistle in the night
And she'd pretend we
D-D-D-, D.O.
Diesel!
Idon!
Ella es ese sueño, que tuve despierto
Un recuerdo leve, de esto que siento
Una sacudida, a mis salidas
La cima de
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all
Hmm!
Yeah!
Oh, yeah!
On guard!
Defend yourself!
Movin' right on you, baby!
On guard!
Defend yourself!
Down to get down, (down!) baby
