Big Wheels In The Moonlight

(Bob McDill,Dan Seals)

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

Watch the big truck rolling by

To me it was a beautiful sight

Big wheels in the moonlight

*

I had a case of wander lust

I'd lie awake with the windows up

Out on highway 59 I could hear

Some big ol' diesel whine

She was going through all the gears

Headed out to who knows where

Fell asleep most every night

A dreaming 'bout big wheels in the moonlight

*

Chorus

And I want to put my life on the center line

And I want to see the world before I die

And I know there's a piece I'll never find

Cause those big ol' wheels keep rolling through my mind

*

How I got there it's hard to say

So many things got in my way

Can't complain about all I got

Kids and a wife and a regular job

But at night when I'm sitting here

All alone in the livingroom chair

Sometimes I close my eyes and see

Big wheels in the moonlight.

*

Chorus

And I want to put my life on the center line

And I want to see the world before I die

And I know there's a piece I'll never find

Cause those big ol' wheels keep rolling through my mind

*

And I want to put my life on the center line

And I want to see the world before I die

And I know there's a piece I'll never find

Cause those big ol' wheels keep rolling through my mind

Those big ol' wheels keep rolling through my mind
