The Wheel - Patty Griffin

Here’s a song about sitting in a dark room

Losing track of your mind

Here’s a song about sitting in a dark room, yeah

Knowing you’re really lost this time

Knowing you’re really lost this time

Here’s a song about the rain

Coming down in sheets and sheets

Here’s a song about the rain

Coming down in sheets and sheets

Water rising over the rooftop

Water sinking into the ground

Everything that I see around me

Is drifting away or falling down

Here’s a song about a man

About a man I never met

Here’s a song about a man, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah

About a man I can’t forget

Choked to death by a policeman

Said he could not catch his breath

Choked to death by a policeman

For selling single cigarettes

Here’s a song about a wheel

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Set in motion so long ago now

No one can remember how

Rolling, rolling over the ages

Wheels of war keep rolling on

Numbers and no names on the pages

Who is weak and who is strong?

Who is weak and who is strong?

Who is weak and who is strong?

Here’s a song about a wheel

Here’s a song about a wheel

Here’s a song about a wheel

Here’s a song about a wheel

Here’s a song about a wheel

Here’s a song about a wheel

Here’s a song about a wheel

Here’s a song about a wheel

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around

Wheel keep a-going 'round and around
