I left my sweetheart a long time ago
She cried and she pleaded and begged me not to go
We had a quarrel and i started to roam
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track
I can see old drivers i hear old whistles moan
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
I dreamed of her in texas nevada was the same
Oh way up in new hampshire i even called her name
She said she still loved me when i called her on the phone
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
If i could travel over to england or to spain
Or way down in the south seas i know it'd be the same
In germany or switzerland or in the town of rhome
I'd think of her and tell the world carry me home
