Big wheel's rollin'; Big wheel's rollin', movin' on
Big wheel's rollin'; gotta keep 'em goin'
Big wheel's rollin', movin' on
The white line is a lifeline to the nation
And men like Kix and Ronnie make it move
Livin' like a gipsy, always on the go
Doin' what they best know how to do
Jammin' gears has got to be a fever
'Cos men become addicted to the grind. (The grind.)
It takes a special breed to be a truck drivin' man
And a steady hand to pull that load behind

Big wheel's rollin'; Big wheel's rollin', movin' on
Big wheel's rollin'; gotta keep 'em goin'
Big wheel's rollin', movin' on
Movin' on, yeah

All night country music keeps 'em goin'
Kix and Ronnie keep on movin' on
Hey, big hot cup of coffee, is waitin' up ahead
An' the rhythm of the highway hums along
Jammin' gears has got to be a fever
'Cos men become addicted to the grind
It takes a special breed to be a truck drivin' man
And a steady hand to pull that load behind
