INTRO:  G  G  G  G 
 
  G                         G 
I came from a town that was so small 
    G                            D  -   G 
You look both ways and you could see it all 
G                G 
All I wanted was some way out 
      G                G 
Every evening I'd slip into town 
           C                    G 
And stand around by the caution light 
          D                  G 
Watch the big trucks rolling by 
    C                     G 
For me it was a beautiful sight 
D                     G             G 
Big Wheels In The Moonlight 
 
I had a case of wanderlust 
I'd lie awake with the windows up 
Out on Highway Fifty Nine 
I could hear some big ol' diesel whine 
She was going through all the gears 
Headed out to who know's where 
I fell asleep most every night 
Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight 
 
      C              G                  D           D 
And I want to put my life on the center line 
      C               G              D           D 
And I want to see the world before I die 
      Bm                  G                C            C 
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find 
            G                   D                  G      G  DC   C  FG
Cause those big ol' wheels keep rolling through my mind 
 
How I got here it's hard to say 
So many things got in my way 
Can't complain about all I've got 
Kids and a wife and a regular job 
But at night when I'm setting here 
All alone in a living room chair 
Sometimes I close my eyes 
And see big wheels in the moonlight.
