Smokey River Boys Big Wheel Cannonball
[1] This great & mighty nation…will sing forever more….
Of the pioneers, brave engineers…and heroes by the
score…..
But the world of transportation… has a new breed just
as great…..
It’s the men of steel, behind the wheels….. Of the big
rigs hauling freight.
[cho] Listen to the rumble…. listen to the roar.
Of the big wheels on the highways…… from the mountains
to the shore
Old Buffalo Bill & Casey Jones…… would never have the
gall....
To risk their fate on the Interstate….. on the big
wheel cannonball.
Music Channel
[2] There’s a lot of speculation…. when the big wheels
roll at night.
Some think their destination… is a truck stop on the
right.
With a little ‘old cat eye waitress… or a hot shot on
the make.
But some I know.. would rather go…. for a hot shot
wagon steak.
[cho] 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 & the
Crawl.
When a swinging combination… plays the big wheel
cannonball.
Turn-A-Round
[3] I try to keep my schedule… the way most drivers do.
It’s food and drinks….and forty winks…. then I go
balling through….
But tonight I’ve got a hang-up…..she’s the cutest
little doll……
I’ll see ya on the straightaway…… on the big wheel
cannonball…..
[cho] On the big wheel cannonball…. on the big wheel
cannonball
Tonight she’s riding shotgun….and I warn you one &
all….
When a devil from St. Louie……takes an angel on his
haul…..
Don’t look for any halos…..round….. the big wheel
cannonball.
