C 
I left my sweetheart a long time ago 

F                                              C 
She cried and she pleaded and begged me not to go 

  
We had a quarrel and I started to roam 

                      G7       C 
Big wheels big wheels carry me home 

  
  
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back 

F                                             C 
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track 

  
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan 

                      G7       C 
Big wheels big wheels carry me home 

  
  
I dreamed of her in Texas Nevada was the same 

F                                            C 
Oh way up in New Hampshire I even called her name 

  
She said she still loved me when I called her on the phone 

                      G7       C 
Big wheels big wheels carry me home 


  
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back 

F                                             C 
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track 

  
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan 

                      G7       C 
Big wheels big wheels carry me home 


  
If I could travel over to England or to Spain 

F                                                C 
Or way down in the South Seas I know it'd be the same 

  
In Germany or Switzerland or in the town of Rhome 

                                    G7       C 
I'd think of her and tell the world carry me home 


  
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back 

F                                             C 
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track 

  
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan 

                      G7       C 
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
