Intro
D#
I came from a town that was so small
A# D#
You look both ways, you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out - Every evening I'd slip into town
G# D#
And stand around by the caution light
A# D#
And watch the big trucks rolling by
G# D# A# D#
For me it was a beautiful sight - Big wheels in the moonlight
D# A# D#
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
G# D#
She was going through all the gears
A# D#
And headed out to who knows where
G# D#
I fell asleep 'most every night
A# D#
Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight
G# D# A#
And I want to put my life on the centerline
G# D# A#
And I want to see the world before I die
Cm D# G# G#add9 G# Cadd9 C (quick)
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
D# A# D# C# G# D#
Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
D# A# D#
How I got here, its 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
G# D# A# D#
But at night when I'm sitting here - All alone in a living room chair
G# D# A# D#
Sometimes I close my eyes - And see big wheels in the moonlight
G# D# A#
And I want to put my life on the centerline
G# D# A#
And I want to see the world before I die
Cm D# G# G#add9 G# Cadd9 C (quick)
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
D# A# D# C# G# D#
Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
