Wheels

(by K. Brown)

Been a longtime since I watched the sky
washed in red
and set on fire
And heard the sound of nightcall
singin' like a Sunday choir
Been on the road for so long
my soul boys is gettin' tired
wheels roll on
and take me back
hear the highway song

fire in my head is raging
cinder stars in the sky
the vision where my love is waitin
set my spirit flyin

Big night sky
lookin out
through endless starlight
whisky keeps me warm at night
dancin in moonlight
Been on the road for so long
my soul boys is gettin' tired
wheels roll on
and take me back
hear the highway song

fire in my head is raging
cinder stars in the sky
the vision where my love is waitin
set my spirit flyin

Campfire smoke
is swirlin'
rising like a ghostly shroud
speak the truth
and ease the pain
highway roll me on

Cold night sky
she grips me
struggle with the binds of men
til the highway song
she'll release me
til I gain control again

Interstate
roll along
end up in my bed tonight
whisky raging in my head
dancin in the moonlight
Been on the road for so long
my soul boys is gettin' tired
wheels roll on
and take me back
hear that highway song

(bluegrass break)

listen to the highway song
Harvest moon hang in the sky
the vision where my love is waitin
wheels let me fly

("Dollar Bill Blues" for reference)
