I came from a town
that was so small
You'd look both ways
you could see it all
All I wanted
was some way out
Every evenin'
I'd slip into town
And stand around
by the caution light
And watch the big trucks
rollin' by
To me it was a beautiful sight
Big wheels in the moonlight
I had a case of wanderlust
I'd lie awake
with the windows up
Out on Highway 59
I could hear some big
old diesel whine
She was goin'
through all the gears
And headed out
to who knows where
Fell asleep most every night
Dreamin 'bout big wheels
in the moonlight
And I wanna put my life
on the center line
And I wanna see the world
before I die
And I know that there's
a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels
keep rollin' through my mind
How I got here
it's hard to say
So many things
got in my way
I can't complain
about all I got
Kids and a wife
And a regular job
But at night when
I'm settin' here
All alone in the
livin' room chair
Sometimes I close my eyes
And see big wheels
in the moonlight
And I wanna put my life
on the center line
And I wanna see the world
before I die
And I know that there's
a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels
keep rollin' through my mind
And I wanna put my life
on the center line
And I wanna see the world
before I die
And I know that there's
a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels
keep rollin' through my mind
Yes those big old wheels
keep rollin' through my mind
