    Mama 
    hated 
    diesels 
    so 
    bad 
    guess 

    knew 
    it 
    was 
    something 
    to 
    do 
    with 

    Dad 

    The 
    first 
    ever 
    seen 
    her 
    cry 
    was 
    after 

    one 
    of them 
    things 
    went 
    by 

    Mama 
    hated 
    diesel 
    so 
    bad 

    remember 
    here, 

    those 
    semis 
    year 
    and 
    date 

    My 
    mom 
    and me, 

    we 
    lived 
    right 
    on 
    the 
    high 

    grade 
    end 
    of 
    town 
    sure 
    liked 

    them 
    white 

    Freightliners, 
    but 

    But 
    there 
    was 
    something 

    in 
    mama's 
    eye 

    When 
    she'd 
    catch 
    me 

    watchin' 
    the 
    road 

    Lord, 
    little 
    bitty 
    piece 
    of 
    her 
    die 

    Mama 
    hated 
    diesel 
    so 
    bad 

    guess 
    knew 
    it 
    was 

    somethin' 
    to 
    do 
    with 

    Dad 

    The 
    first 
    ever 
    seen 
    her cry 
    was 
    after 

    one 
    of them 
    things 
    went 
    bad 

    Mama 
    hated 
    dies
    el so 
    bad 

    As 
    the 
    years 
    passed 
    and 
    grew 
    old, 

    Mama 
    did 
    too 

    Pretty 
    soon 
    she 
    stopped 

    singing 
    and laughing 

    While 
    she'd 
    hardly even 
    eaten 

    And 
    I began 
    staying 
    away from 

    home 
    on 
    the 
    weekdays 

    would 
    come home 
    from 

    school 
    till 
    way 
    past 
    dark 

    was 
    too busy 
    having 
    some 
    kind of 
    fun, 

    either 
    messing 
    around 
    with some 
    gal 
    or 
    hanging 
    around 

    the 
    local 
    truck 
    stop, 

    talking 
    to my 
    buddies 
    about 
    all the 
    big 
    rigs 
    they're 
    all the 
    time 

    rolling 
    in, 
    and 
    talking 
    about all 
    the crazy 

    places 
    we've 
    never 
    been, 
    like 

    California. 

    But one 
    day 
    the county 
    sheriff 
    come 
    up 
    to me, 

    he 
    said they 
    found my 
    momma 
    wan
    dering 

    all 
    by herself 
    in 
    the middle of 

    the highway 
    crying. 

    She 
    was 
    tryin' 
    of all 
    things, 

    Lord, 
    to flag 
    down 
    one of 
    them big 
    old 

    rigs 
    with 
    pock
    et handkerchief 

    Well, 
    that left 
    me 
    on my 
    own 

    got 
    job 
    unloadin' 
    rigs 
    down 

    at the 
    local 
    freight 
    yard 

    Pretty 
    soon 
    had a 
    rig 
    of my own 

    And 
    I left 
    my 
    hometown 
    on 

    my very 
    first 
    run 
    to 

    Frisco 

    Well, 
    that was 
    three 
    years 
    ago today 

    And 
    I ain't 
    been back 
    home 

    in 
    all that 
    time 
    since 
    then 

    Till 
    now 

    Now 
    it's 
    me 
    and 
    the 
    local 
    preacher 

    Stand
    in' 
    in 
    the 
    graveyard 
    grass 

    Starin' 
    down 
    at 
    the 
    highway 

    Watch
    in' 
    those 
    big 
    boys 
    pass 

    Well 
    he 
    laid 
    his 
    hand 
    upon 
    me 

    And 
    he 
    prayed 
    for 
    quite 
    some 
    time 

    That 
    could 
    barely 
    understand 

    the 
    words 
    he 
    said 

    Behind 
    that 
    highway 
    swine 

    Then 
    he 
    handed 
    me 
    faded 
    photograph 

    He 
    said 
    he 
    found 
    it 
    in 
    my 
    mama's 
    hand 

    He 
    said, 
    son, 

    I'm 
    afraid 
    that 
    you in 
    this picture 

    Was 
    the 
    be
    st 
    your mama 
    ever 
    had 

    Well, 
    I looked 
    down 
    at 
    that 
    picture, 

    it 
    was 

    Mama 
    and 
    some 
    guy 

    Standin' 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    semi 
    -truck, 

    just 
    merry 
    -painted 
    on 
    the 
    side 

    Mama 
    hated 
    diesel 
    so 
    bad 

    guess 
    knew 
    it 
    was 

    somethin' 
    to 
    do 
    with 

    Dad 

    The 
    first 
    ever 
    seen 
    her 
    cry 

    Was 
    after 
    one 
    of them 

    fangs 
    went 
    by 

    Mama 
    hated 
    diesel 
    so 
    bad 

    Mama, 
    hated 
    diesels 
    so 
    bad

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
