Big Wheels in the Moonlight

I came from a town that was so small You look both ways, you could see it all All I wanted was some way out Every evening I'd slip into town And stand around by the caution light And watch the big trucks rolling by For 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 Fifty Nine I could hear some big old diesel whine She was going through all the gears And headed out to who knows where I fell asleep 'most every night Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind How I got here, it's hard to say So many things got in my way Can't complain about all I've got Kids and a wife and a regular job But at night when I'm sitting here All alone in a living room chair Sometimes I close my eyes And see big wheels in the moonlight And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
