Big Wheel

Big wheel, don't you roll?

Big diesel, don't you whine

Through the night as I'm runnin' down the road?

Big semi, don't you stop

'Cause if you do I'm not gonna make it back

To Baltimore with my load?

Well, the truck stop's warm and friendly

And the coffee keeps me up

And the waitress there would like to waste my time

But I'll have to pass it by

As it's down the road I fly

Just a racin' with that pocket watch of mine

An' big wheel, don't you roll?

Big diesel, don't you whine

Through the night as I'm runnin' down the road?

Big semi, don't you stop

'Cause if you do I'm not gonna make it back

To Baltimore with my load?

Smoke a-puffin', tires a-hummin'

Burnin' up the road

Countin' road signs and the miles to Baltimore

One eye out for weighin' stations

One for radar traps

They can't stop me 'cause my plans don't call for that

An' big wheel, don't you roll?

Big diesel, don't you whine

Through the night as I'm runnin' down the road?

Big semi, don't you stop

'Cause if you do I'm not gonna make it back

To Baltimore with my load?
