(Terry Skinner, J.L. Wallace)

|
[Chorus]
|
(Gotta keep these wheels)
|
Wheels of fortune rollin'
|
It don't matter where we're goin'
|
East or west or south to Tennessee
|
(Gotta keep these wheels)
|
Wheels of fortune movin'
|
Keep on truckin', keep on movin'
|
Gotta stay ahead of the finance company
|
|
Well, I was down-and-out until this friend a' mine
|
He said, "I got somethin' here, guaranteed ta change yer luck.
|
"With just a few thousand dollars you can get on time,
|
"I can put you in a brand-new diesel truck."
|
|
He says, "You can make a fortune in a year or two
|
"It's easy; all ya haveta do is drive."
|
Well, I signed my name and I took the keys and then I knew:
|
I was gonna be the richest man alive!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
(Gotta keep these wheels)
|
Wheels of fortune rollin'
|
It don't matter where we're goin'
|
East or west or south to Tennessee
|
(Gotta keep these wheels)
|
Wheels of fortune movin'
|
Keep on truckin', keep on movin'
|
Gotta stay ahead of the finance company
|
|
Now, I ain't seen my lady in a month or two
|
This old rig may cost me my family
|
'Cause when I truck on home, you know just what they do?
|
They treat me just like I was company
|
|
Now I'm lost and lonely on this Interstate
|
My CB's broke and I ain't got a dime
|
I got a payment due and the finance comp'ny just won't wait
|
I gotta keep this rig a-movin' all the time
|
|
[Chorus]
|
(Gotta keep these wheels)
|
Wheels of fortune rollin'
|
It don't matter where we're goin'
|
East or west or south to Tennessee
|
(Gotta keep these wheels)
|
Wheels of fortune movin'
|
Keep on truckin', keep on movin'
|
Gotta stay ahead of the finance company
|
Gotta stay ahead of the finance company
|
