You can take me off the road
But you can't take the diesel out of me
Started with a wrench in my old man's hand
Learned every mile makes a better man
From blacktop scars to the neon glow
I've been livin' in lanes most folks don't go
Sun on my face, went through the dash
Pockets of dirt, pockets of cash
Every shift, every load, every long white line
Ain't just a job, it's a state of mind
I got diesel in my soul, fire in my veins
Heart beats steady like the sound of chains
Ten gears turnin' I was born to roll
Ain't no stoppin' with diesel in my soul
From the loves to the petrol, every town I know
The road raise me, it's all I've known
No matter where I park, I still feel whole
'Cause I got diesel in my soul
Highway nights with the moon ridin' shotgun
Miles pass by till the next day comes
CB cheddar keep my mind alive
While my rig eats lines like it's born to drive
I've hauled steel, haul grain, haul hopes and dreams
Through storms and heat that make you scream
It's a brotherhood bound by the road's rough call
When you ride for the grind, you ride for all
Some folks work to live
Me, I live to work this well
I got diesel in my soul, chrome in my blood
Roll through dirt, roll through flood
Every load's a story, every stop's a goal
And I keep movin' with diesel in my soul
From the Rockies tall to the Gulf Coast roll
I'm stamped in steel, I'm forge in coal
This road's my heart, this wheels my roll
And I got diesel in my soul
Keep it between the lines
Brothers, see you in the wind
