Big wheels in the moonlight (video)

1. I came from a town that was so small,

D G

you look both ways, you could see it all.

G

All I wanted was some way out, every evening I'd slip into town

C G

and stand around by the caution light

D G

and watch the big trucks rolling by.

C G D G

For me it was a beautiful sight, big wheels in the moonlight.

G D G

2. I had a case of wanderlust, I'd lie awake with the windows up,

G

out on Highway Fifty Nine I could hear some big old diesel whine.

C G

She was going through all the gears

D G

and headed out to who knows 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 centerline,

C G D

and I want to see the world before I die.

Em G C

And I know that there's a peace I'll never find,

G D G

’cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind.

3. How I got here, it’s hard to say, so many things got in my way,

G

can't complain about all I've got, kids and a wife and a regular job.

C G D G

But at night when I'm sitting here, all alone in a living room chair,

C G D G

sometimes I close my eyes, and see big wheels in the moonlight.

C G D

And I want to put my life on the centerline,

C G D

and I want to see the world before I die.

Em G C

And I know that there's a peace I'll never find,

G D G

’cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind.

+ G - C - G - Em - D - Em - D

+ CHORUS + G - C

G D C - G

+ Those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind.
