Well I got this ole gal rolled on down the highway
And this sleeper cab is a home away from home for me
We've seen a million miles and a lot of cute purtie little come on smiles
But tonight we're headed for Nashville Tennessee
We've hauled that ole black coal in West Virginia
Georgia peaches in Georgia yes sirree
Hauled that citrus fruit from Florida Hard Shell Crabs from Baltimore
But when I go you've gotta promise me
When I've shifted gears for the last time
Wrap me high up on a hill so I can see
Those big rigs rollin' by blowin' black smoke to the sky
Let those wheels yeah big wheels Lordy let them big wheels sing for me
Now all my times been spent out on the highway
While momma and the kids sit home and wait for me
I've gotta make some pay so it's drivin' night and day
But tonight we're headed for Nashville Tennessee
We've hauled them longhorned steers way down in Texas
And in California them big ole redwood trees
It's lobster up in Maine and wheat on the Kansas plain
But when I go you've got to promise me
When I've shifted gears for the last time
Wrap me high up on a hill so I can see
Those big rigs rollin' by blowin' black smoke to the sky
Let those wheels big wheels lordy let them big wheels sing for me
Let those wheels those big wheels lordy let them big wheels sing for me
Now many times we drove from Minnesota
Montana Nebraska Colorado Utah too
Well Arizona's great and so is the Bluegrass state
But tonight Music City I'm a bringin' it home to you
Loneliness has been my life's companion
I've spent more time with her than my family
It's a hard ole life I'm livin' not much gettin' but a whole lotta givin'
And when I'm through you've got to promise me
Now when I've shifted gears for my last time
Let me high up on a hill so I can see
Those big rigs rollin by blowin' black smoke to the sky
Let those wheels aw big wheels Lordy let them big wheels sing for me
