Ufo: "Diesel In The Dust" Lyrics

My daddy told me boy, you only shoot to kill

Im livin just for that thrill

Nobody hurts me cos the paybacks twice as bad

In this town you dont make a man mad



* ted mckinleys dying

At the wheel of his truck

The engine running till it seized up

And nobody heard a thing

Not a shout or gun shot ring

Just a smell of diesel in the dust

(diesel in the dust)



Mckinley wouldnt back down from any man alive

But you need to if youre to survive

The folks in town wanna settle their score

By using their own kinda law



* repeat



[instrumental]



No one had seen a thing when the sheriffs car pulled in

Just the silence you get from kin to kin

The preacher bowed his head, glad that he was dead

And the better the least that was said



* repeat



In this town there was a man out on his own

With no account of how he stood alone

Nobody hear a thing, not a shout or gun shot ring

Just the smell of diesel in the dust

Diesel in the dust
