Oh them big wheels a-turnin', goin' somewhere
  And they're carryin' her away from my side
  Yes I cried, thought I died
  
  Love was just a game to me, I thought I'd never cry
  I thought she'd be the loser, but standing here am I
  And that long train is rolling, goin' somewhere
  And it's carryin' her away from my side
  Yes I cried, thought I'd die
  
  A broken heart is somethin' that I have never had
  But I learned the hard way, didn't know it'd hurt so bad
  And that big wheel's a-turnin', goin' somewhere
  And they're carryin' her away from my side
  Yes he cried, thought he died
  
  This burnin' love unwanted, this love that never dies
  Keeps right on a-hurtin', no matter how I try
  And that old rambler's rollin', goin' somewhere
  And it's carryin' her away from my side
  Yes I cried, thought I'd die
  
  Many years I fooled around and many years I've lied
  I'd always be a-leavin' with that suitcase by my side
  But that big engine rollin', goin' somewhere
  And it's carryin' her away from my side
  Yes I cried, thought I'd die
  Yes I cried, thought I'd die
