C                  F
Well the coffee is thirty weight

G7                        C
And there’s grease in the beans

                          F
And the steak tastes like old shoe tongue

G7                  C
And the waitress is mean


                         F
But the sign says you’re welcome here

G7             C
If you drive a truck

                     F
If you’re lonely and yearn for love

G7                     C
Or you’re down on your luck


               G7            C
And the diesel cafe lulls me away

              G7                        C
I spend every passing day at the diesel café

                   F
There’s red velvet stairs to climb

G7                    C
With the rooms at the top 


                    F
And girls there who go for love

G7                  C
And they don’t ever stop

                      F
And the jukebox plays old love songs

G7                        C
Filled with heartache and pain


                     F
While the sun shines all over town

G7             C
On the cafe it rains

               G7            C
And the diesel cafe lulls me away

              G7                        C
I spend every passing day at the diesel café


                      F
If you’re out on that road tonight

G7                 C
Full of coffee and speed

                           F
And those white lines have crossed your eyes

G7                     C
Then you know what you need


              F
Drift into my favorite place

G7                C
You might want to stay

                            F
Cause there’s something for everyone

G7            C
At the diesel café


               G7            C
And the diesel cafe lulls me away

              G7                        C
I spend every passing day at the diesel cafe
