C                                              F
This great and mighty nation will sing forever more

       G7                                         C
Of the pioneers brave engineers and heroes by the score

                                                          F
But the world of transportation has its own breed just as great

         G7                                                     G
It's the men of steel behind the wheels of the big rigs haulin' freight


                                   F
Listen to the rumble listen to the roar

       G7                                                   C
Of the big wheels on the highways from the mountains to the shore

                                                      F
Ole Buffalo Bill and Casey Jones would never have the gall

   G7                                                       C
To risk their fate on the interstate on the Big Wheel Cannonball

 
                                                        F
There's a lotta speculation when the big wheels roll at night

     G7                                             C
Some think their destination is a truck stop on the right

                                                         F
With a little ole cat eyed waitress or a hot shot on the make

    G7                                                C
But some I know would rather go for a hot chuck wagon steak


                                   F
Listen to the rumble listen to the roar

         G7                                          C
Hear the jingle of the jukebox see the action on the floor

                                                  F
Those giddy-up go-go babies do the monkey and the crawl

       G7                                             C
When a swingin' combination plays the Big Wheel Cannonball


                                               F
I try to keep my schedule the way most drivers do

     G7                                                  C
It's food and drinks and forty winks and then go ballin' through

                                                    F
But tonight I got a hang up she's the cutest little doll

     G7                                                 C
I'll see ya on the straight away on the Big Wheel Cannonball


                                                   F
On the Big Wheel Cannonball on the Big Wheel Cannonball

        G7                                          C
Tonight she's ridin' shotgun and I warn you one and all

                                                F
When a devil from St Luie takes an angel on his haul

      G7                                          C
Don't look for any halo round the Big Wheel Cannonball

      G7                                          C
Don't look for any halo round the Big Wheel Cannonball
