Some days I think this old machine is out to get me   Some days she does what I tell her   It's like dancing with a widow-maker forty hours a week   You know I'm talkin' 'bout a big ol' D-10 caterpillar      I don't know why I like to drive 'em like I do   You know it ain't nothin' but a   Hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds of steel   Could be the money, babe, could be the power   Could be I love the way it feels, could be I love the way it feels      But you know she's mighty unforgivin', so you got to pay attention   You know a D-10 can be the death of you   But I get her all fired up and I can feel it in my soul   You know it's hard to tell who's drivin' who      And I can move Alaska all the way to Beirut   I can bulldoze a beeline from here to Peru   I can push the rocky mountains into the sea   You know heavy metal don't mean rock and roll to me      But you know I'm like a modern day mule skinner   I'm drivin' ten thousand mules so I got to say a little prayer every day   Lord, just let me get her turned around   Without fallin' down this mountain   'Cause you know the boss don't like me treatin' his D-10 that way      I don't know why I like to drive 'em like I do   You know it ain't nothin' but a   Hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds of steel   Could be the money, babe, could be the power   Could be I love the way it feels, could be I love the way it feels   Could be I love the way it feels, could be I love the way it feels
