And The Wheels Turn
Melonie Cannon

Mornin's makin' shadows across the bedroom floor
He double checks his night stand
His bags been packed since four
His semi's waitin' for him
Ready to haul the load
It's two days out to Denver
But he'll be six days on the road
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn

Just passed mile post twenty
His thermos between his legs
About to pour the coffee
That his wife got up and made
And all at once it hits him
She's probably still in bed
Not the one he left behind
But the one that's up ahead
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn

It's only been three hours
Since the semi pulled away
It makes her blush to think
About the plans she made today
He's on his way to Denver
For six days he'll be gone
She smiles softly to herself
As she reaches for the phone
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn

And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn
And the wheels turn

And the wheels turn
