Big Wheels

Jack Hardy

[Verse 1]
Night was fallin'
And the cold wind was freezin' at my face
Everyone was just lookin'
For a place to die
The rich bums go home
To their unhappy matrons
While the poor ones
Head on down to the railroad station

[Verse 2]
But the guard
He knows 'em all by heart
He's seen it all
Before my time
He's the one kind word
In an unkind place
And he knows that face value
Is just simply value savin' face

[Chorus]
But soon them big wheels
Will come rollin' through
And they might complain
If you're found lyin' here
Them big wheels
With the gray flannel suits
Only fears the onеs
That points out the truth

[Verse 3]
Now I ain't no drunkard
And I ain't no piece of trash
I'm just a hungry travеler
Who's a little short of cash
And I might stumble
And a-fumble for the right words to say
But there ain't no way what's in my pocket's
Gonna get me through today

[Verse 4]
But the waitress
She knows it all by heart
She's seen it all
Before my time
She knows that hunger
Has a friend that don't waste no time
And when no one is a-lookin'
She's a friend of mine

[Chorus]
Soon them big wheels
Will come rollin' through
And they might complain
If you're found lyin' here
Them big wheels
With the gray flannel suits
Only fears the ones
That points out the truth

[Verse 5]
Now we don't want no business man
Dyin' of fright
Just 'cause he finds out
That there is more than one place to spend the night
Some day they'll all be dead right
Or they will be dead wrong
And there is more than one place to sleep
When they are dead and gone

[Chorus]
But soon them big wheels
Will come rollin' through
And they might complain
If you're found lyin' here
Them big wheels
With the gray flannel suits
Only fears the ones
That points out the truth
