Big Wheel Cannonball (1970)

This great & mighty nation will sing forever more.

Of pioneers, brave engineers & heroes by the score.

But the world of transportation has a new breed just as great.

It’s the men of steel, behind the wheel, of the big rigs hauling freight.


Listen to the rumble; listen to the roar.

Of the big wheels on the highways from the mountains to the shore

Old Buffalo Bill & Casey Jones would never have the gall.

To risk their fate on the interstate, on the big wheel cannonball.


There’s a lot of speculation, when the big wheels roll at night.

Some think their destination, is a truck stop on the right.

With a little cat eye waitress, or a hot shot on the make.

But some I know would rather go for the hot chuck wagon steak.



Listen to the rumble; listen to the roar

Hear the jingle of the jukebox; see the action on the floor.

Those giddy-up-gogo babies do the Monkey & the Crawl.

When a swinging combination plays the big wheel cannonball.


I try to keep on schedule, the way most drivers do.

It’s food & drunk & forty winks & then go balling through.

But tonight I’ve got a hang-up. She’s the cutest little doll.

I’ll see you on the straightaway, on the big wheel cannonball.


On the big wheel cannonball; on the big wheel cannonball

Tonight she’s riding shotgun, I warn you one & all.

When a devil from St. Louie, Takes an angle on his haul.

Don’t look for any halosround the big wheel cannonball.
