Big Wheel Cannonball lyrics

This great and mighty nation will sing forever more Of the pioneers brave engineers and heroes by the score But the world of transportation has its own breed just as great It's the men of steel behind the wheels of big rigs hauling freight Listen to the rumble listen to the roar Of the big wheels on the highways from the mountains to the shore Ole Buffalo Bill and Casey Jones would never have the gall The risk their fate on the interstate on the Big Wheel Cannonball There's lotta speculation when the big wheels roll at night Some think their destination is a truckstop on the right With a little ole cat eye waitress or a hot shot on the make But some I know would rather go for a hot chuck wagon steak Listen to the rumble listen to the roar Hear the jingle of the jukebox see the action on the floor Those giddiup go-go babies do the monkey and the crawl When a swinging combination plays the Big Wheel Cannonball [ dobro ] I try to keep my schedule the way most drivers do It's food and drinks and forty winks and then go balling through But tonight I've got a hung up she's the cutest little doll I'll see you on the straight away on the Big Wheel Cannonball On the Big Wheel Cannonball on the Big Wheel Cannonball Tonight she's ridin' shotgun and I warn you one and all When a devil from St Luis takes an angel on his haul Don't look for any halo round the Big Wheel Cannonball Don't look for any halo round the Big Wheel Cannonball
