Oh them big wheels are turning going somewhere And they're carrying her away from my side Yes I cried thought I'd die Love was just a game to me I thought I'd never cry I thought she'd be the loser but standing here am I And that long train is rolling going somewhere And it's carrying her away from my side Yes I cried thought I'd die [ piano ] A broken heart is something that I have never had But I learned the hard way didn't know it hurt so bad And them big wheels are turnin' going somewhere And it's carryinG her away from my side (Yes he cried thought he'd die) This burnin' love unwanted this love that never dies Keeps right on a hurting no matter how I try And that old rattler rolling going somewhere And it's carrying her away from my side Yes I cried thought I'd die [ guitar ] Many years I've fooled around and many years I've lied I'd always be a leaving with that suitcase by my side But that big engine's rolling going somewhere And it's carrying her away from my side Yes I cried thought I'd die yes I cried thought I'd die
