Detroit Diesel

E
Late at night I was driving home
A
Feeling tired I was all alone
B                                     E
I pulled in at the first truck stop motel
E
There she stood like a dream in the night
A
Hair was long and her dress was tight
B                                         E
Just one smile and I knew I was under her spell

[Chorus]

                          A
You got me running like a Detroit Diesel
                      E
Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel
                      B
Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel
                E
Like I'm in overdrive

[Verse]

E
She took my hand checked me in for the night
A
She said "Honey don't you put up a fight
B                                          E
I want some loving and to you it's all for free."
E
She got me blowing like a hurricane
A
So much good loving driving me insane
B                                         E
Can't believe that you really happened to me

[Chorus]

                          A
You got me running like a Detroit Diesel
                      E
Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel
                      B
Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel
                E
Like I'm in overdrive

[Verse]

E
You turn me on like an electric light
A
You burn me up like a missle sight
B                                          E
You got me running like a turbo nine forty-four
E
You move my soul like an original sin
A
You detonate me like a firing pin
B                                      E
When I leave you'll be coming back for more

[Chorus]

                          A
You got me running like a Detroit Diesel
                      E
Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel
                      B
Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel
                E
Like I'm in overdrive
