[Verse 1]
Em
 Some days I think this old machine is out to get me.
G             D                   Em
 Somedays she does what I tell her.
Em
It's like dancing with a widow-maker, forty hours a week.
    G                          B
I'm talking about a, big old D-10 caterpillar.

[Chorus]
G             D              C              G
 I don't know why? I like to drive'm like I do.
   Em                                       D                  Em
It ain't nothing but a hundred seventy-five thousand pounds of steel.
G             D          C             G
 Could be the money babe, could be the power.
C                           B     B7
 Could be I love the way it feels.
Em          Bm              Em
 Could be I love the way it feels.

[Verse 2]
Em
 But you know she's mighty unforgiving and you gotta, pay attention.
          G           D               Em
Cause the, D-10 could be the death of you.
Em
But I, get her all fired up and I, can feel it in my soul.
         G                                B
And it's hard to tell: Just who's driving who?

[Verse 3]
Em
 I can move Alaska, all the way to Beirut.
Em      G
I could, bulldoze a beeline, from here to Peru.
         A
I could, push the Rocky Mountains, into the sea.
         B
You know, Heavy metal, don't mean rock and roll to me.

[Verse 4]
Em
 I'm like a, modern day mule skinner, driving ten thousand mules.
     G                D         Em
So I say a little prayer, every day.
Em
Lord, just let me get her turned around.
Em
Without, falling off this mountain.
             G                                    B
You know the boss man, don't like us treating his D-10 that way.

[Chorus]
G             D              C              G
 I don't know why? I like to drive'm like I do.
   Em                                       D                  Em
It ain't nothing but a hundred seventy-five thousand pounds of steel.
G             D          C             G
 Could be the money babe, could be the power.
C                           B
 Could be I love the way it feels.
Em          B               Em
 Could be I love the way it feels.

{Outro}
Em          B               Em
 Could be I love the way it feels.
Em          B               Em     G  D   Em
 Could be I love the way it feels.
