| Lyrics: | Drove me down, told me lies You had your chance, it passed you by Gonna shove this engine into gear and drive Down the road in my coupe de ville White walls and shiny steel I’m leavin’ this dead-end love behind Big wheels, gonna take me far away Big wheels, gonna burn up my mistakes Big wheels, roll me down that road tonight Big wheels, straight ahead, never looking back Big wheels, tail lights gonna fade to black Big wheels take me down that road tonight I don't know where I'm bound Far from you and from this town I'm broken up but I ain't breakin’ down Best thing I ever got from you Was nothing, left to lose So here I go, I'm free, I'm moving on Big wheels, gonna take me far away Big wheels, gonna burn up my mistakes Big wheels, roll me down that road tonight Big wheels, straight ahead, never looking back Big wheels, tail lights gonna fade to black Big wheels take me down that road tonight I wish that I could see your face When you’re tryin’ to leave her place And your car ain’t nowhere to be found And I’m 100 miles away….pedal down |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
