a trucker's life is full of strife
it's not hard to know why
no time for church on sunday
no time for a wife
they've always got a run to make
it's got to be on time
their soul's are black as coffee
and that's the reason why:
ain't no diesel trucks in heaven boys
they've all drove to hell
diesel trucks and heaven's clouds don't
mix very well
the angels up in heaven
all have wings to fly about
while the demons down in hell
drive diesel trucks around
truckers know the darkest streets
they don't fit down narrow roads
and the weigh stations at the pearly gates
won't take their heavy loads
i once knew a trucker
who prayed to god above
when he died his prayers were jacknifed
and the devil took his truck
ain't no diesel trucks in heaven boys
they've all drove to hell
diesel trucks and heaven's clouds don't
mix very well
the angels up in heaven
all have wings to fly about
while the demons down in hell
drive diesel trucks around
i got nothin against heaven
but it's hard to deny
the power of the devil's convoy
and all it's diesel pride
if i get to heaven
and my truck gets left behind
i'll sing this song to jesus
and try to change his mind
and he'll say :
ain't no diesel trucks in heaven boys
they've all drove to hell
diesel trucks and heaven's clouds don't
mix very well
the angels here in heaven
all have wings to fly about
while the demons down in hell
all drive diesel trucks around
