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
