smokey river boys – big wheel cannonball lyrics
[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 sh-r-
old buffalo bill & casey jones… would never have the gall…
to risk their fate on the interstate… on the big wheel cannonball.

[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.
