Oh them big wheels a-turnin', goin' somewhere
And they're carryin' her away from my side
Yes I cried, thought I died

Love was just a game to me, I thought I'd never cry
I thought she'd be the loser, but standing here am I
And that long train is rolling, goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side
Yes I cried, thought I'd die

A broken heart is somethin' that I have never had
But I learned the hard way, didn't know it'd hurt so bad
And that big wheel's a-turnin', goin' somewhere
And they're carryin' her away from my side
Yes he cried, thought he died

This burnin' love unwanted, this love that never dies
Keeps right on a-hurtin', no matter how I try
And that old rambler's rollin', goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side
Yes I cried, thought I'd die

Many years I fooled around and many years I've lied
I'd always be a-leavin' with that suitcase by my side
But that big engine rollin', goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side
Yes I cried, thought I'd die
Yes I cried, thought I'd die
