Lyrics Diesel Destiny - Tony Justice

Billy started pushing diesel's back in his twos and threes
That little yellow Tonka dump truck was always under his momma's feet
His daddy drove an eighteen wheeler from Macon to Omaha
Every night around Billy's bedtime he'd be waiting for his dad to call
Even at a tender age you could plainly see
He had a diesel destiny
Yeah he did
While his friends were out playing
Baseball he was tearing carburetors down
He would rebuild a Cummings engine
By the time high school rolled around
You should've seen on his
Girlfriend's face standing there with her momma
When he pulled up in his daddy's
Peterbuilt to puck her up for the senior prom
With the grease stains in his tuxedo you could plainly see
He had a diesel destiny
Shifting gears with the whining of his cat
Midnight diner with the chewing of the fat
He'll see every nook and cranny
From Boise to Miami
Red lining it from sea to shining sea
He's got a diesel destiny
When his friends went off to college Billy went to working for his dad
Together they turned that one truck fleet into twenty in nothing flat
Now Billy sits in his VP office with
That little Tonka truck on his shelf
And if one of his drivers calls in sick he'll take the run out himself
Out there on the where he can breathe
He's got a diesel destiny
Shifting gears with the whining of his cat
Midnight diner with the chewing of the fat
He'll see every nook and cranny
From Boise to Miami
Redlining it from sea to shining sea
He's got a diesel destiny
Redlining it from sea to shining sea
He's got a diesel destiny
