Howard HauseyThe Big Wheel Lyrics
Now you were born a poor man
Then you got to be a rich man
But you wound up a poor man again
Big wheel
Big wheel
Big wheel
They caught you laying the green
Among other things
And when you lay that green you gotta make the scene
Big wheel
Big wheel
Big wheel
And now they're all on your back
Across that track
Big wheel
And the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
Yeah the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
I said the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
They brought you back
Across that track
Big wheel
You remember that day
Not too long ago
Your ol' ma begged you, how she begged you not to go
Big wheel
Big wheel
Big wheel
But you were makin' with a big noise all over town
And everybody waitin' just to cut you down
Big wheel
Big wheel
Big wheel
Well now they're all on your back
Across that track
Big wheel
Well now you spent your loan
And you had your fun
But now you're going back to where you started from
Big wheel
You know your ma was right
Just as right as could be
She said they'd cut you down
But they'd set you free
Big wheel
Big wheel
Big wheel
And now they're all on your back
Across that track
Big wheel
And the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
Yeah the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
I said the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
They brought you back
Across that track
Big wheel
And the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
Yeah the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
I said the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
They brought you back
Across that track
Big wheel
And the lights are gonna shine
Across that track tonight
