Running through the long night, cutting the black
22 tons of steel on my back
The smell of the morning just around the bend
And when I get there I'll turn around and do it again
Got an old Cal 50 shaking the ground
Got adrenaline pumping to a rumbling sound
I'm leaning on the hammer, picking up speed
I'm a highway junky, there's a gipsy in me
I'm addicted to the diesel
I'm addicted to the diesel
I'm loaded up, kicking and ready to ride
I'm addicted to the diesel
So addicted to the diesel
I'm a sucker for the long white line
And the truck town people
I'm just addicted to the diesel
Hey, yeah, honey, gonna be home soon
But at the moment I'm out here chasing the moon
It's hid behind a cloud at Neondaville
But I hope to cut it off the other side of the hill
Got my rock and roll radio driving me on
Yeah, hey there Gretchen, won't you sing me a song
About a hard, hard living and keeping it real
I'm a free spirit outlaw, rebel on wheels
I'm addicted to the diesel
I'm addicted to the diesel
I'm loaded up, kicking and ready to ride
I'm addicted to the diesel
So addicted to the diesel
I'm a sucker for the long white line
And the truck town people
I'm just addicted to the road, the wind, the sound
I'm rolling through the rain, the fog, the town
I'm thinking 'bout the next road house
Never slowing down
I'm addicted to the diesel
I'm addicted to the diesel
I'm loaded up, kicking and ready to ride
I'm addicted to the diesel
So addicted to the diesel
I'm a sucker for the long white line
And the truck town people
Addicted to the diesel
