CThis great and mighty nation will sing forever Fmore
Of the G7pioneers brave engineers and heroes by the Cscore
But the world of transportation has its own breed just as Fgreat
It's the G7men of steel behind the wheels of the big rigs haulin' Gfreight
Listen to the rumble listen to the Froar
Of the G7big wheels on the highways from the mountains to the Cshore
Ole Buffalo Bill and Casey Jones would never have the Fgall
To G7risk their fate on the interstate on the Big Wheel CannonCball
There's a lotta speculation when the big wheels roll at Fnight
Some G7think their destination is a truck stop on the Cright
With a little ole cat eyed waitress or a hot shot on the Fmake
But G7some I know would rather go for a hot chuck wagon Csteak
Listen to the rumble listen to the Froar
Hear the G7jingle of the jukebox see the action on the Cfloor
Those giddy-up go-go babies do the monkey and the Fcrawl
When a G7swingin' combination plays the Big Wheel CannonCball
I try to keep my schedule the way most drivers Fdo
It's G7food and drinks and forty winks and then go ballin' Cthrough
But tonight I got a hang up she's the cutest little Fdoll
I'll G7see ya on the straight away on the Big Wheel CannonCball
On the Big Wheel Cannonball on the Big Wheel CannonFball
Tonight G7she's ridin' shotgun and I warn you one and Call
When a devil from St Luie takes an angel on his Fhaul
Don't G7look for any halo round the Big Wheel CannonCball
Don't G7look for any halo round the Big Wheel CannonCball

C F

This great and mighty nation will sing forever more

G7 C

Of the pioneers brave engineers and heroes by the score

But the world of transportation has its own breed just as great

G7 G

It's the men of steel behind the wheels of the big rigs haulin' freight

Listen to the rumble listen to the roar

G7 C

Of the big wheels on the highways from the mountains to the shore

Ole Buffalo Bill and Casey Jones would never have the gall

G7 C

To risk their fate on the interstate on the Big Wheel Cannonball

There's a lotta speculation when the big wheels roll at night

G7 C

Some think their destination is a truck stop on the right

With a little ole cat eyed waitress or a hot shot on the make

G7 C

But some I know would rather go for a hot chuck wagon steak

Listen to the rumble listen to the roar

G7 C

Hear the jingle of the jukebox see the action on the floor

Those giddy-up go-go babies do the monkey and the crawl

G7 C

When a swingin' combination plays the Big Wheel Cannonball

I try to keep my schedule the way most drivers do

G7 C

It's food and drinks and forty winks and then go ballin' through

But tonight I got a hang up she's the cutest little doll

G7 C

I'll see ya on the straight away on the Big Wheel Cannonball

On the Big Wheel Cannonball on the Big Wheel Cannonball

G7 C

Tonight she's ridin' shotgun and I warn you one and all

When a devil from St Luie takes an angel on his haul

G7 C

Don't look for any halo round the Big Wheel Cannonball

G7 C

Don't look for any halo round the Big Wheel Cannonball
