[1] This great & mighty nation will sing forever more
Of the pioneers, brave engineers and heroes by the score
But the world of transportation has a new breed just as great
It's the men of steel, behind the wheels Of the big rigs hauling freight
[Cho] Listen to the rumble listen to the roar
Of the big wheels on the highways from the mountains to the shore
Old Buffalo Bill & Casey Jones would never have the gall
To risk their fate on the Interstate on the big wheel cannonball
Music Channel
[2] There's a lot of speculation when the big wheels roll at night
Some think their destination is a truck stop on the right
With a little 'old cat eye waitress or a hot shot on the make
But some I know would rather go for a hot shot wagon steak
[Cho] Listen to the rumble listen to the roar
Hear the jingle of the jukebox see the action on the floor
Those giddy-up go go babies do the Monkey & the Crawl
When a swinging combination plays the big wheel cannonball
Turn-A-Round
[3] I try to keep my schedule the way most drivers do
It's food and drinks and forty winks then I go balling through
But tonight I've got a hang-up she's the cutest little doll
I'll see ya on the straightaway on the big wheel cannonball
[Cho] On the big wheel cannonball on the big wheel cannonball
Tonight she's riding shotgun and I warn you one & all
When a devil from St Louie takes an angel on his haul
Don't look for any halos round the big wheel cannonball
