Wheel
Steve Earle & The Dukes Lyrics

We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got telephones to say what we can't say
We've all got higher and higher every day
Come on wheels take this boy away

We're not afraid to ride, we're not afraid to die
So come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away

Now when I feel my time is almost up

And destiny is in my right hand
I'll turn to him who made my fate so strong
Come on wheels make this boy a man

We're not afraid to ride, we're not afraid to die
Come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away
Come on wheels take this boy away
