Big Wheel Cannonball

This great and mighty nation will sing forevermore
 Of the pioneers, brave engineers, and heroes by the score
 But the world of transportation has its own breed just as great
 It's the men of steel behind the wheels of the big rigs haulin' freight
 Listen to the rumble
 Listen to the roar
 Of the big wheels on the highways
 From the mountains to the shore
 Ol' Buffalo Bill and Casey Jones would never have the gall
 To risk their fate on the interstate on the Big Wheel Cannonball
 ♪
 There's a lot of speculation when the big wheels roll at night
 Some think their destination is a truckstop on the right
 With a little ole, cat-eyed waitress or a hot-shot on the maid
 But some I know would rather go for a hot-chuck wagon steak
 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 and the crawl
 When a swingin' combination plays the Big Wheel Cannonball
 ♪
 I try to keep my schedule, the way most drivers do
 It's food and drinks, and forty winks, and then go ballin' through
 But tonight, I've got a hang up
 She's the cutest little doll
 I'll see you on the straight away on the Big Wheel Cannonball
 On the Big Wheel Cannonball
 Out on the Big Wheel Cannonball
 Tonight, she's ridin' shotgun, and I warn you, one and all
 When a devil from St. Louis takes an angel on his haul
 Don't look for any halo 'round the Big Wheel Cannonball
 Don't look for any halo 'round the Big Wheel Cannonball
