Jerry Jeff Walker      If I took a rollin' wheel   And rolled it ten times round   Would it travel far from here   Or would it just go round   Round and Round       As a young boy I helped the old man   Workin' in the fields   And everyday, we hauled the hay   To the rollin' of the wheels   'Til one day the tractor laid   The old man down to the ground   The tractor pitched him into a ditch and   Left a dusty sound   Of the wheel that kept spinnin' round   The wheel that kept spinnin' round      CHORUS:   Rollin' wheel, rollin' on   Takin' us all on our way   Rollin' wheel, rollin' on   Takin back all that they gave   Takin' us all on our way   Takin' back all that they save      I've never knew my father well   The war called him too soon   Said he was an officer   Saw some pictures in my room   The letter said he was reported dead   Near the front lines he'd been found   A mine blew his jeep into a twisted heep   And I still hear the sound   Of the wheel that kept spinnin' round.      Rollin' wheel, rollin' on   Takin' us all on our way   Rollin' wheels, rollin' on   Takin' us all to the grave   Takin' back all that they save   Takin' us all on our way      My brother chased a dream of wheels   His whole life geared for the race   As soon as he could, he drove off for good   His whole life was short, quick, and straight   He only lived to spin those wheels   And make that move over ground   'Til the steering failed and he crashed the rail   And he laid there still for the sounds   Of the wheel that kept spinning round.      Rollin' wheel, they're rollin' on   Takin' us all on our way   The rollin' wheels, rollin' on   Takin' back all that they gave   Takin' us all on our way   Takin' back all that they say      As for me, my life's too short   The wheel has carried my far   Around this world 100 times   By bus, truck, train, bike , or car (???)   And just like the rest I roll on to my death   On a country road far from town   I stare by the wheel just as sure as I feel   That there won't be but one sound   That's the wheel that keeps spinning round      Yeah the wheel that keeps spinning round      Rollin wheels, rollin' on   Takin us all on our way   The rollin' wheels, rollin' on   Takin' back all that they say   Takin us all on our way   Takin' us all on our way      The rollin' wheels, yeah rollin' on   Takin' back all that they gave   Takin' us all on our way
