Mama Hated Diesels (Live)

Farrell

Remember hearing those semis gearing down

For me and Mumma we lived right on the high grade into town

And I sure loved those white freighter lights but there was something in

My

Mumma's eyes

When she'd catch me looking at them why a little bit of her died

Mumma hated diesels so bad

I guess I knew it had something to do with Dad

The first time I saw her cry was when one of those things went by

Mumma hated diesels so bad

Now the years rolled along they weren't kind to my poor Mum

I didn't spend much time at home I was busy having fun

Then one day the county sherrif came and told me they had found

A body by the side of the road she'd been flagging diesels down

Now it's just d the local preacher standing in the grave yard grass

He said he found this stuck in my s hand it was a faded photograph

I looked down at the picture it was my Mumma and some guy

Standing in front of a semi truck Just Married written on the side
