took five days in Memphis but Memphis was taking me So I drove to Chicago to study the city streets I saw my girl my lover she said she'd wear my ring took five days in Memphis but Memphis was taking me So I drove to Chicago to study the city streets I saw my girl my lover she said she'd wear my ring But as I kept on walking to my back I could hear her sing She sings
Big wheels lay you down In the chords of another town And you'll sing yourself to sleep And if that mockingbird don't care for a single word You'll just change your melody You don't wanna leave You don't wanna leave Little Robby was a lover But his picture was his biggest muse He had all the gifts of heaven but he traded for a pair of shoes And his girl she loved him but he never wanna let her in So when I heard that he left her I said Robby did you hear her sing? She sing
Big wheels lay you down In the chords of another town And you sing yourself to sleep And if that mockingbird don't care for a single word You just change your melody Cause you don't wanna leave You don't wanna leave You don't wanna leave All right no no no oh oh oh
Well the night's busted open On these two lanes to anywhere There's a kiss on my cheek and it burns so I leave it there And I step on the gas and something begins shake It's my heart and it's singing, boy this is more than you can take
