Lyrics
Intro
maleDust on the mirror, diesel in the tankI pull out early and I do not look backYou text me from the kitchen, drive it slowI do, because you asked me so
Chorus
togetherDust and diesel, you and meA working kind of harmonyIf love is miles then we put them inDust and diesel, start again
Solo
femaleI come home smelling like a long haul weekYou do not make a fuss, you just let me speakThen you take the hat and you take the weightThat is a partner, not a twist of fate
Chorus
togetherDust and diesel, you and meA working kind of harmonyIf love is miles then we put them inDust and diesel, start again
Bridge
I count the hours by the porch-light glow[Male] I count the miles by the radio[Together] We meet in the middle when the engine cools
Outro
Dust and dieselYou and me
