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
