The tired winds blow    And the restless go home    And the haggard lies down to sleep   Where the hours go slow    And the beauty we know is the love   That is the key         Lay awake and breath while the fire overtakes me   Down the lonesome road. Ole diesel, please take me home         When the curtains do close and the night becomes old    And the willing go on their way   No ones in sight so they shut down the lights    Since the bottles all have gone dry         When it rains son it pours, heaven opens its doors    To drop hell straight from the sky   The open road’s gone and the darkness is calm enough to take your dear life         Stay awake and breathe, and struggle to stay in the lines   Down the lonesome road. Ole diesel, please take me home         When the curtains do close and the night becomes old    And the stragglers all find their way   No ones in sight so they shut down the lights    Since the bottles all have gone dry         Stay awake and breathe, while the fire overtakes me   Down the lonesome road. Ole diesel she brought me home         When the tired winds blow and the restless go home    And the haggard lies down to sleep   Where the hours go slow    And the beauty we know is the love   That is the key
