Cass McCombs - Big Wheel lyrics
[Cass McCombs - Big Wheel lyrics]
I dig
The taste of diesel and the sound of big rigs
Rubber, metal, oil and stone
Scoring at truck stops
Lot lizards and driving far alone
Garbage trucks lifting cans in
The morning Sun
Behind the wheel of a bulldozer
Is my idea of fun
John Deere, Dynapac steamrollers
Grain silos & old barns
Electric storms over lumber yards
Small wheel runs by faith
Big wheel runs by grace
A wheel in a wheel go round and round
What does it mean to be a man?
How you gonna tell me who I am?
A man is bolts, a man is rust
For a little while, then the man is dust
A man with a man- how more manly can you get?
I may be five-foot-one but you’re all wet
Be a man
I live by my principles, I stick to my guns
I wake up well before garbage or the Sun
I die by my honor which I alone define
My heart is yours, my soul is mine
Take back your flowers and
Your fance and priss
I’m a man because I say I am
Now gimme a kiss
Now there’s peace in the valley
No cause for war no suspicion, no jealousy
Let the eagle soar
Let the dog’s tail wag let the children sing
There’s peace in the valley let freedom ring
The taste of diesel and the sound of big rigs
Rubber, metal, oil and stone
Scoring at truck stops
Lot lizards and driving far alone
Garbage trucks lifting cans in
The morning Sun
Behind the wheel of a bulldozer
Is my idea of fun
John Deere, Dynapac steamrollers
Grain silos & old barns
Electric storms over lumber yards
Small wheel runs by faith
Big wheel runs by grace
A wheel in a wheel go round and round
What does it mean to be a man?
How you gonna tell me who I am?
A man is bolts, a man is rust
For a little while, then the man is dust
A man with a man- how more manly can you get?
I may be five-foot-one but you’re all wet
Be a man
I live by my principles, I stick to my guns
I wake up well before garbage or the Sun
I die by my honor which I alone define
My heart is yours, my soul is mine
Take back your flowers and
Your fance and priss
I’m a man because I say I am
Now gimme a kiss
Now there’s peace in the valley
No cause for war no suspicion, no jealousy
Let the eagle soar
Let the dog’s tail wag let the children sing
There’s peace in the valley let freedom ring
