I was only a kid when my dad used to play this song on the cassette player in the car on road trips.
But it's about this guy who accidently cuts off a semi-truck and then the semi-truck driver is trying to catch up to him.
"I can hear St. Peter calling, I can almost smell the flowers... blah blah blah, there's a diesel on my tail..." is all I can remember.
It might be by the same band that plays "Elmira", but I'm not sure. I can only remember snippets of that song too.
Thanks!

Diesel On My Tail
More than one group or person recorded this, but Jim and Jesse is the only version I've heard that I can name. It is O-L-D old!

Diesel On My Tail
I just pulled on to the highway in my little foreign car
Well it's raining and the road is really bad
I never saw that big old diesel but I heard him hit the air
I've got a feeling that I might have made him mad
He closed the gap between us pushed the pedal on the floor
He's makin' ninety in that big old diesel truck
I can hear the names he's calling me above the engine's roar
And the words won't be found in Webster's books
There's a diesel on my tail a-making ninety miles an hour
My reflection in my mirror is mighty pale
I can hear St.Peter calling I can almost smell the flowers
Can this compact take the impact there's a diesel on my tail
Well I'm huffin' and puffin' and I'm trying to make the grade
And I wish I had some pedals on this cart
And I'm slippin' and a-slidin' and afraid to touch the brake
For the two of us could never stand the jar
Well I'm slippin' and a-slidin' trying to hold it on the road
And I tell you I just got to win this race
While I'm tremblin' and a-shakin' he is pouring on the coal
So close that I can steal his license plate
