Cass McCombs – Big Wheel lyrics

[Verse 1: Cass McCombs]
I dig
The taste of diesel and the sound of big rigs
Rubber, metal, oil and stone
Scoring at truck stops, lot lizards and driving far alone

[Verse 2: Cass McCombs]
Garbage trucks lifting cans in the morning Sun
Behind the wheel of a bulldozer is my idea of fun
John Deere, Dynapac steamrollers, grain silos & old barns
Electric storms over lumber yards

[Verse 3: Cass McCombs]
Small wheel runs by faith
Big wheel runs by grace
A wheel in a wheel go round and round

[Verse 4: Cass McCombs]
What does it mean to be a man?
How you gonna tell me who I am?
A man is bolts, a man is rust
For a little while, then the man is dust
A man with a man- how more manly can you get?
I may be five-foot-one but you’re all wet
Be a man

[Verse 5: Cass McCombs]
I live by my principles, I stick to my guns
I wake up well before garbage or the Sun
I die by my honor which I alone define
My heart is yours, my soul is mine
Take back your flowers and your fance and priss
I’m a man because I say I am, now gimme a kiss

[Verse 6: Cass McCombs]
Now there’s peace in the valley
No cause for war
No suspicion, no jealousy
Let the eagle soar

[Verse 7: Cass McCombs]
Let the dog’s tail wag
Let the children sing
There’s peace in the valley
Let freedom ring
