Lyrics: Big Wheel

Three feet tall, five years old
Staring down to the bottom of Mountain Top Road
Hands wrapped tight around those plastic handle grips

Took off flying, picking 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’ve still got the scars to prove it, yeah

Life’s like a big wheel, keeps on turnin’
Time runs away everyday I’m learnin’
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’ve taken my share of dead-end curves
Had to steady my nerves, steel my courage
Had a lot of hard landings but I ain’t hangin up my wings

Yeah, I’m still rippin’ down that hill
Still hangin on with all my will
Looking 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 in the light before it all goes dark

Chorus

Solo

Just to be alive, getting the chance to ride…
On the big wheel
