2
If I took a rollin' wheel
3
And rolled it ten times round
4
Would it travel far from here
5
Or would it just go round
6
Round and Round
7
As a young boy I helped the old man
8
Workin' in the fields
9
And everyday, we hauled the hay
10
To the rollin' of the wheels
11
'Til one day the tractor laid
12
The old man down to the ground
13
The tractor pitched him into a ditch and
14
Left a dusty sound
15
Of the wheel that kept spinnin' round
16
The wheel that kept spinnin' round
17
Chorus:
18
Rollin' wheel, rollin' on
19
Takin' us all on our way
20
Rollin' wheel, rollin' on
21
Takin back all that they gave
22
Takin' us all on our way
23
Takin' back all that they save
24
I've never knew my father well
25
The war called him too soon
26
Said he was an officer
27
Saw some pictures in my room
28
The letter said he was reported dead
29
Near the front lines he'd been found
30
A mine blew his jeep into a twisted heep
31
And I still hear the sound
32
Of the wheel that kept spinnin' round.
33
Rollin' wheel, rollin' on
34
Takin' us all on our way
35
Rollin' wheels, rollin' on
36
Takin' us all to the grave
37
Takin' back all that they save
38
Takin' us all on our way
39
My brother chased a dream of wheels
40
His whole life geared for the race
41
As soon as he could, he drove off for good
42
His whole life was short, quick, and straight
43
He only lived to spin those wheels
44
And make that move over ground
45
'Til the steering failed and he crashed the rail
46
And he laid there still for the sounds
47
Of the wheel that kept spinning round.
48
Rollin' wheel, they're rollin' on
49
Takin' us all on our way
50
The rollin' wheels, rollin' on
51
Takin' back all that they gave
52
Takin' us all on our way
53
Takin' back all that they say
54
As for me, my life's too short
55
The wheel has carried my far
56
Around this world 100 times
57
By bus, truck, train, bike, or car (???)
58
And just like the rest I roll on to my death
59
On a country road far from town
60
I stare by the wheel just as sure as I feel
61
That there won't be but one sound
62
That's the wheel that keeps spinning round
63
Yeah the wheel that keeps spinning round
64
Rollin wheels, rollin' on
65
Takin us all on our way
66
The rollin' wheels, rollin' on
67
Takin' back all that they say
68
Takin us all on our way
69
Takin' us all on our way
70
The rollin' wheels, yeah rollin' on
71
Takin' back all that they gave
72
Takin' us all on our way
