(Instrumental)

Big iron wheels keep on rollin’
Big iron wheels turnin’ ‘round
From my home, I am leavin’
Headed for another town
I left a girl back in the country
For the city and the pay
Reachin’ out for fame and fortune
But I’ll go back again someday

Big iron wheels keep on rollin’
Big iron wheels turnin’ ‘round
From my home, I am leavin’
Headed for another town
Feel the rhythm and the motion
Hear the rumble, hear the roar
Headed for some destination
That I’ve never seen before

Cold iron slappin’ on the steel rails
The sky outside is cold and pale
The snow is heavy comin’ down now
As the mountain winds away
Big iron wheels keep on rollin’
Big iron wheels turnin’ ‘round
To the sunshine, I’m returning
To kiss the girl in my hometown
To kiss the girl in my hometown
To kiss the girl from my hometown
