This 'ol Wheel Lyrics - Shooter Jennings

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road 

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road 

Oh gravel and dust fly up off of truck tires 

down a dirt road 

In Nashville, In the summertime, In 1996 

I was listenin' to my dad and Johnny Cash 

Doin' chain gang and talkin' trash with Savannah and smokin' cigarettes 

But it wasn't that long till I tasted the salt of the sea 

Cause she was still in love with the guy she left for me so 

She stood there cryin' as I packed my pack 

And I knew that I was lyin' when I said that I'd be back 

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road 

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road 

Now fast forward to about 2000 and 3 

I'm standin' on the corner of Hollywood and Vine 

Just a six string and me 

And that capitol building 

Lookin' up at that thing 

Wonderin' when am I gonna get my chance to sing 

But faced with that kind of predicament it'd be pretty hard to to get choked up 

When every hero I've had and every band I had broke up 

I'm invited to a party and I just can't come cause I know that once I'm in I can't pull out till I'm done 

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road 

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road 

In my last nine to ten old Ah Pook waltzed in 

Put his slimy gun to my head and said son this is the end 

I said you better get back I got an army of good friends 

Who would follow me to hell and I've done the same for them 

Besides you're not going to destroy what we've worked so hard to defend 

We protect the things we love just like our families did 

We picked a long and winding road and we'd do it again 

We picked a dark horse and we're gonna ride it till the end 

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road 

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
