(terry skinner, j.l. wallace)

[chorus]
(gotta keep these wheels)
Wheels of fortune rollin
It dont matter where were goin
East or west or south to tennessee
(gotta keep these wheels)
Wheels of fortune movin
Keep on truckin, keep on movin
Gotta stay ahead of the finance company

Well, I was down-and-out until this friend a mine
He said, I got somethin here, guaranteed ta change yer luck.
With just a few thousand dollars you can get on time,
I can put you in a brand-new diesel truck.

He says, you can make a fortune in a year or two
Its easy; all ya haveta do is drive.
Well, I signed my name and I took the keys and then I knew:
I was gonna be the richest man alive!

[chorus]
(gotta keep these wheels)
Wheels of fortune rollin
It dont matter where were goin
East or west or south to tennessee
(gotta keep these wheels)
Wheels of fortune movin
Keep on truckin, keep on movin
Gotta stay ahead of the finance company

Now, I aint seen my lady in a month or two
This old rig may cost me my family
cause when I truck on home, you know just what they do?
They treat me just like I was company

Now Im lost and lonely on this interstate
My cbs broke and I aint got a dime
I got a payment due and the finance compny just wont wait
I gotta keep this rig a-movin all the time

[chorus]
(gotta keep these wheels)
Wheels of fortune rollin
It dont matter where were goin
East or west or south to tennessee
(gotta keep these wheels)
Wheels of fortune movin
Keep on truckin, keep on movin
Gotta stay ahead of the finance company
Gotta stay ahead of the finance company
