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 wasnt 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
Id 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
Im 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 itd be pretty hard to to get choked up
When every hero
Ive had and every band
I had broke up
Im invited to a party and
I just cant come cause
I know that once
Im in I cant pull out till
Im 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
Ive done the same for them
Besides youre not going to destroy what weve worked so hard to defend
We protect the things we love just like our families did
We picked a long and winding road and wed do it again
We picked a dark horse and were gonna ride it till the end
