Oh them big wheels a-turnin', goin' somewhere

And they're carryin' her away from my side

Yes I cried, thought I died



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, goin' somewhere

And it's carryin' her away from my side

Yes I cried, thought I'd die



A broken heart is somethin' that I have never had

But I learned the hard way, didn't know it'd hurt so bad

And that big wheel's a-turnin', goin' somewhere

And they're carryin' her away from my side

Yes he cried, thought he died



This burnin' love unwanted, this love that never dies

Keeps right on a-hurtin', no matter how I try

And that old rambler's rollin', goin' somewhere

And it's carryin' her away from my side

Yes I cried, thought I'd die



Many years I fooled around and many years I've lied

I'd always be a-leavin' with that suitcase by my side

But that big engine rollin', goin' somewhere

And it's carryin' her away from my side

Yes I cried, thought I'd die

Yes I cried, thought I'd die
