This Ol Wheel

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road Oh gravel and dust fly up off of truck tires Down a dirt road In Nashville, In the summertime, In 1996 I was listenin' to my dad and Johnny Cash Doin' chain gang and talkin' trash with Savannah and smokin' cigarettes But it wasn't that long till I tasted the salt of the sea Cause she was still in love with the guy she left for me so She stood there cryin' as I packed my pack And I knew that I was lyin' when I said that I'd be back This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road Now fast forward to about 2000 and 3 I'm standin' on the corner of Hollywood and Vine Just a six string and me And that capitol building Lookin' up at that thing Wonderin' when am I gonna get my chance to sing But faced with that kind of predicament it'd be pretty hard to to get choked up When every hero I've had and every band I had broke up I'm invited to a party and I just can't come cause I know that once I'm in I can't pull out till I'm done This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road In my last nine to ten old Ah Pook waltzed in Put his slimy gun to my head and said son this is the end I said you better get back I got an army of good friends Who would follow me to hell and I've done the same for them Besides you're not going to destroy what we've worked so hard to defend We protect the things we love just like our families did We picked a long and winding road and we'd do it again We picked a dark horse and we're gonna ride it till the end This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
