Big Wheel

Three feet tall, five years old

Starin' down to the bottom

of Mountain Top road,

Hands wrapped tight

around those plastic handle grips

I took off flying pickin' 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 still got the scars to prove it

Life's like a big wheel keeps on turning

Time runs away, every day I'm learning

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'm takin my share of dead end curves

Had to steady my nerves and steal my courage

Had a lot of hard landings

but I ain't hanging up my wings

Yeah I'm still rippin' down that hill

Still hanging on with all my will

Lookin' 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 my life

before it all goes dark

Life's like a big wheel keeps on turning

Time runs away, every day I'm learning

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

On the big wheel

Just to be alive

Getting the chance to ride on the big wheel

On the big wheel

On the big wheel

I'm still learning to ride on the big wheel

I'm still learning to ride on the big wheel

On the big wheel
