Big Wheels In The Moonlight
(SD 229)
Pat Carnathan
OPENER
Circle left
I came from a town that was so small
If you looked both ways, you could see it all
Left allemande, dosado
Left allemande then you weave the ring
I'd stand around by the caution light
And watch the big trucks rollin' by
To me it was a beautiful sight
Big wheels in the moonlight
FIGURE: (Twice for heads, twice for sides)
Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands you know
All the way and do a dosado
Swing thru, boys you will trade
Boys run, bend the line and then star thru
Dive thru, square thru it's 3 hands
Swing your corner lady promenade
To me, it was a beautiful sight
Big wheels in the moonlight
MIDDLE BREAK & CLOSER
Sides face grand square
And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
Do an allemande left, weave the ring
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'cause those big old wheels keep rollin' through my mind
TAG
Those big old wheels keep rollin' through my mind
(Use these lyrics during the Opener:)
If you looked both ways, you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out; every evening I?d slip into town
I'd stand around by the caution light, and watch the big trucks rollin' by
**To me it was a beautiful sight, big wheels in the moonlight
** I fell asleep most every night dreamin'
(Use these lyrics during the Middle Break and Closer:)
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 rollin' through my mind
