[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



WellI was down-and-out until this friend a' mine

He said"i got somethin' hereguaranteed 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."

WellI 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



NowI ain't seen my lady in a month or two

This old rig may cost me my family

'cause when I truck on homeyou 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
