On Rolls the Wheel Lyrics by William Prince
They sent me out into the land of living skies
And I hope I can make it back alive
‘Cause my tires ain’t paid for
All depends on the take-home
Wire back the loot to make it right
The road it is long but my thoughts they run longer
Into the quiet of the night
And I’ll wake up lonely, this place where no one knows me
Drive to another the next day
Then a brand new chapter, born the day after
The last of the miles towards my grave
And I’ve been here before
And I’ll be here again
On rolls the wheel
On rolls the wheel
Met the loneliest man in the world near Mervin County
Drivin’ through a town with my last name
His house and his body could use a woman’s touch
Guys like us don’t often change
And so I’ll wake up lonely, this place where no one knows m
Drive to another the next day
Then a brand new chapter, born the day after
The last of the miles towards my grave
And I’ve been here before
And I’ll be here again
On rolls the wheel
On rolls the wheel
And I’ve been here before
And I’ll be here again
On rolls the wheel
On rolls the wheel
And I’ve been here before
And I’ll be here again
On rolls the wheel
On rolls the wheel
Time keeps rollin’ on
And I’m gettin’ older
Where I’m goin’
Only matters to me
