I came from a town that was so small
D G
You look both ways and you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out
D G
Every evening I’d slip into town
Am G
And stand around by the caution light
D G
Watch the big trucks rolling by
C G
For me it was a beautiful sight
D G
Big Wheels In The Moonlight
G
Now, I had a case of wanderlust
D G
I’d lie awake with the windows up
Out on highway 59
D G7
I could hear some big ol’ diesel whine
C G
She was going through all the gears
D G
Headed out to who know’s where
C G
I fell asleep most every night
D G
Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight
C G D
And I want to put my life on the center line
C G D
And I want to see the world before I die
Am G/B C
And I know that there’s a peace I’ll never find
G D G
Cause, those big ol’ wheels keep rolling through my mind
G
How I got here it’s hard to say
D G
So many things got in my way
Can’t complain about all I’ve got
D G
Kids and a wife and a regular job
Am G
But at night when I’m sitting here
D G
All alone in my living room chair
Am G
Sometimes I close my eyes
D G
And see big wheels in the moonlight
C G D
And I want to put my life on the center line
C G D
And I want to see the world before I die
Am G/B C
And I know that there’s a peace I’ll never find
G D G
Cause, those big ol’ wheels keep rolling through my mind
G D G
Yes, those big ol’ wheels keep rolling through my mind
