THE WAGON WHEEL

WELL I'VE BEEN DIGGIN' IN THE HARD PAN GROUND,
ON A D-9 ALL DAY.
I'VE BEEN PUSHIN' THIS DIRT AROUND,
JUST SO I CAN GET MY PAY.
YEAH TONIGHT AT FIVE WE'LL SHUT 'EM DOWN,
AND THE BOSS WILL PASS OUR CHECKS AROUND,
AND WE'LL JUMP IN OUR PICKUP TRUCKS,
AND HEAD INTO TOWN.
AND GO TO THE WAGON WHEEL!

YEAH TODAY WAS AS HOT AS THE DEVIL'S BUTT,
A HUNDRED IN THE SHADE.
I MUSTA SWEAT TWENTY GALLONS BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
I HAVE GOT IT MADE.
BECAUSE I GOT ME A HOUSE, AND A CAR, AND A KID,
AND A BOAT, AND A CAMPER, AND A DOG NAMED SID,
AND A WIFE! WHO ALWAYS MEETS ME AT THE DOOR,
ASKIN' WHAT IT WAS I DID,
AT THE WAGON WHEEL.

AT THE WAGON WHEEL, A QUARTER BUYS YOU,
SHUFFLE BOARD, BEER, AND POOL.
AND THREE PLAYS ON THE JUKEBOX, COUNTRY SONGS.
ON A TWENTY DOLLAR BILL, YOU CAN GET YOUR FILL,
OF A GIRL NAMED STELLA OUT BACK.
YEAH A HARD WORKIN' MAN CAN'T DO NOTHIN' WRONG.
AT THE WAGON WHEEL!

NOW IN THIRTY SIX YEARS I'LL BE SIXTY FIVE,
AND RETIRE WITH LOTS OF DOUGH.
THEY'RE GONNA SEND ME CHECKS AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE,
THE UNION TELLS ME SO.
YEAH I'LL BE THE ONLY ONE THAT I'VE GOT TO THANK,
FOR THE GUT I GOT, FROM THE BEER I DRANK.
MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL GET A LOAN DOWN AT THE BANK.
AND BUY THE WAGON WHEEL!

WELL I'VE BEEN DIGGIN' IN THE HARD PAN GROUND,
ON A D-9 ALL DAY.
I'VE BEEN PUSHIN' THIS DIRT AROUND,
JUST SO I CAN GET MY PAY.
YEAH TONIGHT AT FIVE WE'LL SHUT 'EM DOWN,
AND THE BOSS WILL PASS OUR CHECKS AROUND,
AND WE'LL JUMP IN OUR PICKUP TRUCKS,
AND HEAD INTO TOWN.
AND GO TO THE WAGON WHEEL!
