Seals, Dan - Big Wheels In The Moonlight Lyrics
I came from a town that was so small
You look both ways, you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out
Every evening I'd slip into town
And watch the big trucks rolling by
For me it was a beautiful sight
Big wheels in the moonlight
I had a case of wanderlust
I'd lie awake with the windows up
Out on Highway Fifty Nine
I could hear some big old diesel whine
She was going through all the gears
I fell asleep 'most every night
Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight
And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
How I got here, it's hard to say
So many things got in my way
Can't complain about all I've got
Kids and a wife and a regular job
But at night when I'm sitting here
All alone in a living room chair
Sometimes I close my eyes
And see big wheels in the moonlight
And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

Some great guitar playing. Love that solo.
Reminds of my dad passed at 59 love you 11 yrs ago so many questions not enough advice
Such a great song, soundtrack to a lot of peoples' lives...RIP Dan Seals
Keep on trucking
the 52 dislikes are from the D.O.T
@Tara Harvey what do you mean what?
Truck on
Still my favorite trucking song. Still jamming gears, going in 34 years soon
My life of trucking . I grew-up hearing trucks jake braking down Hwy 160 west of Durango, Colorado. My father drove local in Denver during my teen years and I would ride from time to time. I was off to Navy at 18 and ended up becoming a professional truck driver at 23 years of age. I drove trucks my whole life . My first farm truck was my Grand Fathers 1947 Chevy 1 ton - flat bed that I was driving at age of 8 yrs old .
I drive a 2020 T880. But I miss hauling tobacco in my 98 ihc. In 98. Fun times.
Load in like a boxcar race in like NASCAR. Truck on.
“And I want to put my life on the centerline, and I want to see the world before I die.” What a great line
Loved this song all while growing up, and I got to do it too. My wanderlust led me through many jobs, including driving a truck, and I did get to see the world.
That piece I never found, that I'm working so hard on now, was the wife and kids.
I really miss blowing out the speakers and running through those albiet 10 gears. It felt great.
First woman in my family, to have a love affair with the open road & 13 gears.
RIP Dan brings back memories of my childhood.
I'll never eat at Subway Farrah
Great Song for jamming gears on the highway... Never get sick of this song
Thank youu
My dad had me up in the seat of an old kenworth cabover when I was 5 and it rubbed off on me cause that’s the wheel I’m holding in my hand everyday and I wouldn’t trade it for anything, long live the cowboys
Asphalt Cowboys❣️
If you thumbs down Dan you are 100000000000 % queer !!

Still have this cassette tape, RIP England Dan.
Reminds me of being a kid falling asleep to the sounds of Jake brakes
Same here
Love this classic hit song. A plus song. Thank You 🙏
They say country music is about life, this song could be about mine. I never drove them, but I've had a lifelong love of the big rigs.
I drove for 18 years then retired cause of e logs no money left in it
Jerome Duxe or keep older truck exempt from e logs
This song came up in a memorial video made for my great uncle who's funeral we were able to attend and it makes me tear up and sing along each time I hear it. Family means everything to me and it sucks that I would put my life on the center line for them but most would not for me. Only my immediate family would, maybe. Much love to my grandparents in heaven and my great uncle Clinton!

whothefucklsyou
We went from this to what they call country today....what the fuck!
Love listening to my ddt 15’ 560 going thru her 10 speed
Reminds me of my hometown growing up
I have this tape. My dad gave it to me
I could hear some big ole diesel whine, she was goin through all the gears, what a great line. And once you hear that sound you are hooked. It's like a drug. Love hearing my 525 horses winding up as she goes through her 13 gears.
How bout it Cummins going through all the 18 gears 😏
@Stephanie Seyler 18 yes but my block better be yellow
Thank you for driving!
You can give up when your dead, keep er lit while your here 🤙
Truckers keep America going. God Bless all the Truckers. Ten four!!
The white line is the lifeline to the nation
My grandpa drove for 61 years in a big rig and my uncle has been doin it for the better part of 35 years. I spent a lot of time in those big truks growin up and wuldnt change it for anything. Now im in my mid 40's and still respect those guys and gals more than anything cuz trust me, if u have it a truker helped get it there. Show them some respect on the road cuz they cant stop or maneuver like other vehicles.
💯 Absolutely! A lot of people forget that! If the truckers ever strike.. the country shuts down!
Trucks are also elegant piece of art in Texas
Dont tell anybody i am a truck driver, my family thinks i am a piano player at a whorehouse
lol mine too !
Well played
@NC real dipper chert A classic Mustang with flame throwers on the tailpipes.
Good Time Charlie's in KC?
I asked you to hear Music Box dancer and you plum tore that one up.
@doughesson LMAO
A dam good trucking song.
when there a peace soon we will find
but such a good feeling song
This song makes me think my cousin Travis on street of amesville ohio watch...god bless
Has to be the best trucking song ever made.
Love the part about hearing the big ole diesel whine!! Once you hear that you never get it out of your system like an addiction. 22 years been hearing it. I was a senior in high school when this song hit the radio. Convinced me this is what I wanted to do
There were dozens of trucker songs from the 60's and 70's. Genuine country.
Show de bola espetacular 😘✌️⭐🍹
this song brings back my child hood Dan seals sings here of Broades Montana right off high 59 going north out Gillette Wyoming. I grew up north of Gillette in the hills 5 miles off of hwy 59 just past carter mine coal mine. I remeber hearing the big rigs gearing up on good hwy 59
I’ve stayed the night in Broades Mt. It’s a nice little town.

The great Dan Seals...you and your great music has inspired many of those felt trapped in small towns to give them the courage to expand their horizons into the big city and finally figure out why small towns are so great and shouldn't have left in the first place! lol You are missed!
Excellent.
