Well the coffee is thirty weight
And there's grease in the beans
And the steak tastes like old shoe tongue
And the waitress is mean

But the sign says you're welcome here
If you drive a truck
If you're lonely and yearn for love
Or you're down on your luck

And the diesel cafe
Lulls me away
I spend every passing day
At the diesel cafe

There's red velvet stairs to climb
With the rooms at the top
And girls there who go for love
And they don't ever stop

And the jukebox plays old love songs
Filled with heartache and pain
While the sun shines all over town
On the cafe it rains

And the diesel cafe
Lulls me away
I spend every passing day
At the diesel cafe

If you're out on that road tonight
Full of coffee and speed
And those white lines have crossed your eyes
Then you know what you need

Drift into my favorite place
You might want to stay
Cause there's something for everyone
At the diesel cafe

And the diesel cafe
Lulls me away
I spend every passing day
At the diesel cafe
Diesel Cafe...
Diesel Cafe...
Diesel Cafe...
