Come from the other side of the tracks
Trailer hitched up on a cinder block jack
Things are getting better but they don't say when
Jump right back in the hole again
Big wheels but they don't turn around
Three feet off the ground
Always something gonna hold you down
Big wheels but they don't turn around
No, they don't turn around
Papa's so mad gonna get him a gun
Says the rich die rich but the poor die young
Now you say you're sorry for what you've done
As you bury your dreams one by one
Big wheels but they don't turn around
Three feet off the ground
Always something gonna hold you down
Big wheels but they don't turn around
No, they don't turn around
Watching TV from the back of the bar
Every woman said that he'd go so far
You used to hold your head up, used to walk so tall
Now you're talking to Jesus through a hole in the wall
Big wheels but they don't turn around
Three feet off the ground
Always something gonna hold you down
Big wheels but they don't turn around
No, they don't turn around
No, they don't turn around
