Big Wheel

[Verse 1: Cass McCombs]

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

[Verse 2: Cass McCombs]

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

[Verse 3: Cass McCombs]

Small wheel runs by faith

Big wheel runs by grace

A wheel in a wheel go round and round

[Verse 4: Cass McCombs]

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

[Verse 5: Cass McCombs]

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

[Verse 6: Cass McCombs]

Now there’s peace in the valley

No cause for war

No suspicion, no jealousy

Let the eagle soar

[Verse 7: Cass McCombs]

Let the dog’s tail wag

Let the children sing

There’s peace in the valley

Let freedom ring
