The Texas Tenors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Comin to you from the land of Lincoln
Where our forefathers fought and died
They laid down their lives
Just to keep this dream alive
Two Hundred years and countin
For the blood, the sweat, the tears
By the grace of God we're here
By the grace of God we're still here
These wheels they turn for freedom
These wheels they turn for truth
These wheels they turn for Liberty
These wheels they never stop rollin
Make way they're comin through
These wheels they roll, red white and blue
Can you imagine where we'd be
If the ships of freedom failed to rise
What a world this would be, today
So count your blessings and never forget
The ones that came before
How much they gave and price they paid
These wheels they turn for freedom
These wheels they turn for truth
These wheels they turn for Liberty
These wheels they never stop rollin
Make way they're comin through
These wheels they roll, red white and blue
Shout about it
(Shout about it)
Sing about it

These wheels they turn for Liberty

These wheels they never stop rollin
Make way they're comin through
These wheels they roll, red white and blue
