[Verse 1]
  D         D
Arlene. . . Driving down the interstate,
G                    D
Leadin' on a big old sun
          D       D
She don't need anything to complicate,
G                     D
Living out her simple life
    G                       G
Her diesel's hummin', she's gaining ground
D                            D
Don't need another man, just hangin' around
    Bm                     C#m   D
She knows that money don't equal wealth
   G                   G      G     A     D        D    D    D
Ya want it done right. . . ya gotta do it yourself


[Verse 2]
  D                      D
Arlene. . . She said I'm carrying freight-load,
    G                    D
You don't know what I've seen
       D                D
What I need you know it never comes late
G             D
Even when the times are lean
       G               G
‘Cause Momma and Daddy taught me good
      D                D
Gotta pray hard like a woman should
      Bm                   Am       D
Well, I just deal with the hand I'm dealt
   G                   G              G     A     D
Ya want it done right. . . Arlene, ya gotta do it yourself

Oh, keep your diesels hummin', they're hummin', Arlene
          G                         G        A     D    D
Keep your diesel's hummin', they’re hummin’. . . Arlene
          G                         G              D    D
Keep your diesel's hummin', they're hummin'. . . Arlene
