it's not hard to know why.
He's got no time for church on Sunday
Well, he's always got a run to make,
but it's got to be on time.
Well, his soul's as black as coffee,
and that's the reason why.
Ain't no diesel trucks in heaven,
boys, they've all drove to hell
Yeah, diesel smoke and heaven's clouds,
All the angels up in heaven,
they have wings to fly about
While the demons down in hell
drive diesel trucks around
Yeah, truckers know the darkest streets
They don't fit down narrow roads
And the weigh stations at
Won't take their heavy loads
Well, I once knew a trucker
Well, he prayed to God above
When he died, his prayers were jackknifed
And the devil took his truck
Ain't no diesel trucks in heaven,
boys, they've all drove to hell
All the angels up in heaven,
well, they have wings to fly about
While the demons down in hell
drop diesel trucks around
I got nothing against heaven,
The power of the devil's convoy
and all its diesel stride
and my truck gets left behind
Well, I'll sing this song to Jesus
and try to change his mind
ain't no diesel trucks in heaven, Bob
They've all drove to hell
Yeah, diesel smoke and all these clouds
All these angels here in heaven,
well, they have wings to fly about
While you demons down in hell
all drive diesel trucks around
