(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
