Oh them big wheels are turning goin' somewhere
and they're carryin' her away from my side yes i cried thought i'd die
love was just a game to me i thought i'd never cry
i thought she'd be the loser but standin' here am i
and that long train is rolling goin' somewhere
and it's carryin' her away from my side yes i cried thought i'd die
a broken heart is somethin' that i have never had
but i learned the hard way didn't know it hurt so bad
and them big wheels are turnin' goin' somewhere
and it's carryin' her away from my side (yes he cried thought he'd die)
this burnin' love unwanted this love that never dies
keeps right on a hurting no matter how i try
and that old rattler rolling goin' somewhere
and it's carryin' her away from my side yes i cried thought i'd die
many years i've fooled around and many years i've lied
i'd always be a leaving with that suitcase by my side
but that big engine's rolling goin' somewhere
and it's carryin' her away from my side yes i cried thought i'd die
yes i cried thought i'd die
