There's a freight train roarin' thru the dead of night (Em) headin' straight for Yuma
(C) I hear it every time it rolls through town (G)
It's one a.m. and I'm wide awake, (Em) too hot for sleepin'
(C) Those wheels keep spinnin' 'round an' 'round (G)

Wheels keep spinnin' 'round an' 'round, (Em)me and that train cover lot of ground
I (C)wish I may, I wish I might, (G) it's gonna be another long hot night

Trucks are flyin' up an' down I-10, (Em) I can hear 'em in the distance
(C) Tired drivers tryin' to beat the heat (G)
We used to drive with the headlights out, (Em) moonlight on the highway
(C) You were sleepin' with your head in my lap (G)

You were sleepin' with your head in my lap, (Em)life don't get much better than that
(C)Hubcaps spinnin' in the light, (G) it's gonna be another long hot night

(D) How'd I let it get to (C)be so (G)wrong
The (D)days roll by but the (G)nights drag (C)on
(D)Tryin' to find a way to (C)get on (G)track
But I'm (Em) spinnin' wheels (C) lookin' (G)back
I'm just (Em) spinnin' wheels (C) lookin' (G)back

Shots ring out in the middle of a dream, (Em) car tires squealin'
(C) For a moment I wonder where I (G)am
I'm right here in this little hot house (Em) with no one beside me
(C) I'm listenin' to the wobble of the ceilin' fan (G)

I'm listenin' to the wobble of the ceilin' fan, (Em) wish I were a better man
(C)Gonna keep tryin' till I get it right, (G) it’s gonna be another long hot night
