Smokey River Boys Lyrics
Big Wheels Cannonball Lyrics
Original use of the Wabash Cannonball bluegrass melody
[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.
[tag] music fades to ending
