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 And watch the big trucks rolling by For me it was a beautiful sight Big wheels in the moonlight I had a case of wanderlust I'd lie awake with the windows up Out on Highway Fifty Nine I could hear some big old diesel whine She was going through all the gears And headed out to who knows where I fell asleep 'most every night Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find 'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind How I got here, it's hard to say So many things got in my way Can't complain about all I've got Kids and a wife and a regular job But at night when I'm sitting here All alone in a living room chair Sometimes I close my eyes And see big wheels in the moonlight And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find 'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find 'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind 'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind |

She weren't much to look at, she weren't much to ride
She was missing a window on her passenger side The floorboard was patched up with paper and tar But I really was something in my old yellow car An American boy with his hands on the wheel Of a dream that was made of American steel Though the seats had the smell of a nickel cigar I really was something in my old yellow car Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel There's a rusty old shell of an automobile And if engines could run on desires alone That old yellow car would be driving me home There's the seat where poor Billy threw up on his date And where Larry and Sandy could no longer wait There was no road too winding and nowhere too far With two bucks of gas and my old yellow car Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel Thee's a rusty old shell of an automobile And if engines could run on desires alone That old yellow car would be driving me home Take a look at me now throwing money around I'm paying somebody to drive me downtown Got a Mercedes Benz with a TV and bar And God I wish I was driving my old yellow car God I wish I was driving my old yellow car |

I always thought you were the best
I guess I always will. I always thought that we were blessed And I feel that way still. Sometimes we took the hard road But we always saw it through. If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you. Sometimes the world was on our side Sometimes it wasn't fair. Sometimes it gave a helping hand Sometimes we didn't care. 'Cause when we were together It made the dream come true. If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you. Someone who understands me And knows me inside out. Helps keep me together And believes without a doubt, That I could move a mountain Someone to tell it to. If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you. Someone And knows me inside out. Helps keep me together And believes without a doubt, That I could move a mountain Someone to tell it to. If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you. |

A campfire, some coffee
From a tin cup in my hand Sure warms the fingers when it's cold ... aplayin' an old guitar A friend I understand Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul ... Asleepin' in the moonlight A blanket for my bed Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind ... Wakin' up in the mornin' With an eagle overhead Makes me want to fly away before my time CHORUS And I think God must be a cowboy at heart He made wide open spaces from the start ... He made grass and trees and mountains And a horse to be a friend And trails to lead old cowboys home a-gain ... Night life and big cities Is alright for awhile Sure makes you feel good when you're there ... But the country's so pretty It goes on and on for miles takes away my troubles and my cares ... CHORUS And trails to lead old cowboys home again. |

I've often wondered what would I do
If I found you alone like this Would I remember What I've got at home Or forget it all with your kiss 'Cause when you left me I was hurtin' so She picked me up off the ground And I do love her, I want you to know That I never want to let her down Chorus But you still move me Though I'd never let her know There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go And every time I hold her in my arms Or look into her eyes I wonder this time, does it show 'Cause you still move me I guess I'd better leave now Before it's too late Before these feelings go too far But I had to see you Just one more time 'Cause it's been tearing me apart 'Cause you still move me And I wonder how much longer can this go on The feelin' wrong, I know it's wrong And I don't know which way to turn Here with you, or home with her Chorus But you still move me Though I'd never let her know There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go And every time I hold her in my arms Or look into her eyes I wonder this time, does it show 'Cause you still move me 'Cause you move me, God you move me |

She's a small town girl with no room to grow
And he's a reckless boy with no where to go They're like birds in a cage with no place to fly So he parks the car and she holds him tight And they rage on some how searching for the answers In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone They rage on On the same dark night two more people meet In a rented room on a cross town street And she's lost her youth and he's lost his dreams But for a while they feel like they used to feel And they rage on Against the lives that this world gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on rage on And somewhere between right and wrong In the grey between dusk and dawn They tell themselves they're not alone Cause they rage on And they rage on some how searching for the answers In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone They rage on They rage on against the lives that this life gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on they rage on |
