(C) Those wheels keep spinnin' 'round an' 'round (G)
Wheels keep spinnin' 'round an' 'round, (Em)me and that train cover lot of ground

Trucks are flyin' up an' down I-10, (Em) I can hear 'em in the distance
(C) Tired drivers tryin' to beat the heat (G)
We used to drive with the headlights out, (Em) moonlight on the highway
(C) You were sleepin' with your head in my lap (G)
You were sleepin' with your head in my lap, (Em)life don't get much better than that
(C)Hubcaps spinnin' in the light, (G) it's gonna be another long hot night

Shots ring out in the middle of a dream, (Em) car tires squealin'
(C) For a moment I wonder where I (G)am
I'm right here in this little hot house (Em) with no one beside me
(C) I'm listenin' to the wobble of the ceilin' fan (G)
