Detroit Diesel - Alvin Lee

Late at night I was driving home

Feeling tired I was all alone

I pulled in at the first truck stop motel

There she stood like a dream in the night

Hair was long and her dress was tight

Just one smile and I knew I was under her spell

You got me running like a Detroit Diesel

Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel

Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel

Like I’m in overdrive

She took my hand checked me in for the night

She said «Honey don’t you put up a fight

I want some loving and to you it’s all for free.»

She got me blowing like a hurricane

So much good loving driving me insane

Can’t believe that you really happened to me

You got me running like a Detroit Diesel

Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel

Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel

Like I’m in overdrive

You turn me on like an electric light

You burn me up like a missle sight

You got me running like a turbo nine forty-four

You move my soul like an original sin

You detonate me like a firing pin

When I leave you’ll be coming back for more

You got me running like a Detroit Diesel

Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel

Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel

Like I’m in overdrive
