Big Wheel Cannonball

Big Wheel Cannonball Lyrics

[1] This great & mighty nation... will sing forever more...
Of the pioneers, brave engineers... and heroes by the score...
But the world of transportation... has a new breed just as great...
It's the men of steel, behind the wheels... Of the big rigs hauling freight.

[Cho] Listen to the rumble... listen to the roar.
Of the big wheels on the highways... from the mountains to the shore
Old Buffalo Bill & Casey Jones... would never have the gall...
To risk their fate on the Interstate... on the big wheel cannonball.
Music Channel
[2] There's a lot of speculation... when the big wheels roll at night.
Some think their destination... is a truck stop on the right.
With a little 'old cat eye waitress... or a hot shot on the make.
But some I know... would rather go... for a hot shot wagon steak.

[Cho] Listen to the rumble... listen to the roar
Hear the jingle of the jukebox... see the action on the floor.
Those giddy-up... go go babies... do the Monkey & the Crawl.
When a swinging combination... plays the big wheel cannonball.

Turn-A-Round
[3] I try to keep my schedule... the way most drivers do.
It's food and drinks... and forty winks... then I go balling through...
But tonight I've got a hang-up... she's the cutest little doll...
I'll see ya on the straightaway... on the big wheel cannonball...

[Cho] On the big wheel cannonball... on the big wheel cannonball
Tonight she's riding shotgun... and I warn you one & all...
When a devil from St. Louie... takes an angel on his haul...
Don't look for any halos... round... the big wheel cannonball.
