BIG WHEELS

(Clovis Yarnall)

Oh them big wheels are turning going somewhere

And they’re carrying her away from my side

Yes I cried thought I’d die

Love was just a game to me I thought I’d never cry

I thought she’d be the loser but standing here am I

And that long train is rolling going somewhere

And it’s carrying her away from my side

Yes I cried thought I’d die

A broken heart is something that I have never had

But I learned the hard way didn’t know it hurt so bad

And them big wheels are turnin’ going somewhere

And it’s carryinG her away from my side

(Yes he cried thought he’d die)

This burnin’ love unwanted this love that never dies

Keeps right on a hurting no matter how I try

And that old rattler rolling going somewhere

And it’s carrying her away from my side

Yes I cried thought I’d die

Many years I’ve fooled around and many years I’ve lied

I’d always be a leaving with that suitcase by my side

But that big engine’s rolling going somewhere

And it’s carrying her away from my side

Yes I cried thought I’d die yes I cried thought I’d die
