Three feet tall, five years old 

Starin' down to the bottom of Mountain Top road, 

Hands wrapped tight around those plastic handle grips 

I took off flying pickin' up speed 

The world was a blur of rocks and weeds 

It was all worth the pain of landing 

Getting my first three stitches 

Everyone said that I shouldn't do it 

Cut and bruised but I got through it 

I still got the scars to prove it 



Life's like a big wheel keeps on turning 

Time runs away, every day I'm learning 

To roll with the punches, follow my hunches 

Loving the way it feels 

Just to be alive 

Getting the chance to ride on the big wheel 



I'm takin my share of dead end curves 

Had to steady my nerves and steal my courage 

Had a lot of hard landings but I ain't hanging up my wings 

Yeah I'm still rippin' down that hill 

Still hanging on with all my will 

Lookin' back now I still 

Wouldn't change a thing 

I've had a few lovers leave their mark 

I've broken my pride and I've broken my heart 

But I'm gonna live my life before it all goes dark 



(Repeat Chorus) 



On the big wheel 



Just to be alive 

Getting the chance to ride on the big wheel 

On the big wheel 

On the big wheel 

I'm still learning to ride on the big wheel 

I'm still learning to ride on the big wheel 

On the big wheel
