Big Wheels In The Moonlight

I came from a town that was so small you look both ways and 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 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 setting 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
