She's a small town girl with no room to grow And he's a reckless boy with no where to go They're like birds in a cage with no place to fly So he parks the car and she holds him tight
And they rage on some how searching for the answers In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone They rage on
On the same dark night two more people meet In a rented room on a cross town street And she's lost her youth and he's lost his dreams But for a while they feel like they used to feel
And they rage on Against the lives that this world gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on rage on
And somewhere between right and wrong In the grey between dusk and dawn They tell themselves they're not alone Cause they rage on
And they rage on some how searching for the answers In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone They rage on
They rage on against the lives that this life gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on they rage on
I came from a town that was so small You look both ways, you could see it all All I wanted was some way out Every evening I'd slip into town
And stand around by the caution light And watch the big trucks rolling by For me it was a beautiful sight Big wheels in the moonlight
I had a case of wanderlust I'd lie awake with the windows up Out on Highway Fifty Nine I could hear some big old diesel whine
She was going through all the gears And headed out to who knows where I fell asleep 'most every night Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight
And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find 'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
How I got here, it's hard to say So many things got in my way Can't complain about all I've got Kids and a wife and a regular job
But at night when I'm sitting here All alone in a living room chair Sometimes I close my eyes And see big wheels in the moonlight
And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find 'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
And I want to put my life on the centerline And I want to see the world before I die And I know that there's a peace I'll never find 'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
Sleep, lay me down, Hold me closely in your arms and I will close my eyes. Please, promise me, That when I wake up from my dreams, you'll be there by my side. Love, if you say you won't slip away, Then I can go dreaming of forever more, But I won't rest until, I know that you will be here, in the morning, by my side. Love, if you say you won't slip away, Then I can go dreaming of forever more, But I won't rest until, I know that you will be here, in the morning, by my side. In the morning, by my side.
