Big Wheel

[Verse 1: Cass McCombs] I dig The taste of diesel and the sound of big rigs Rubber, metal, oil and stone Scoring at truck stops, lot lizards and driving far alone [Verse 2: Cass McCombs] Garbage trucks lifting cans in the morning Sun Behind the wheel of a bulldozer is my idea of fun John Deere, Dynapac steamrollers, grain silos & old barns Electric storms over lumber yards [Verse 3: Cass McCombs] Small wheel runs by faith Big wheel runs by grace A wheel in a wheel go round and round [Verse 4: Cass McCombs] What does it mean to be a man? How you gonna tell me who I am? A man is bolts, a man is rust For a little while, then the man is dust A man with a man- how more manly can you get? I may be five-foot-one but you’re all wet Be a man [Verse 5: Cass McCombs] I live by my principles, I stick to my guns I wake up well before garbage or the Sun I die by my honor which I alone define My heart is yours, my soul is mine Take back your flowers and your fance and priss I’m a man because I say I am, now gimme a kiss [Verse 6: Cass McCombs] Now there’s peace in the valley No cause for war No suspicion, no jealousy Let the eagle soar [Verse 7: Cass McCombs] Let the dog’s tail wag Let the children sing There’s peace in the valley Let freedom ring
