3 feet tall, 5 years old
staring down to the bottom of mountain top road
hands wrapped tight around those plastic handle grips
i took off flying pickin up speed
the world was a blur of rocks and weeds
it was all worth the pain of landing,
and gettin my first 3 stitches
everyone said that i shouldn't do it
came out bruised but i got through it
i still got the scars to prove it

life's like a big wheel keeps on turning
time runs away every day im learning to
roll with the punches follow my hunches
lovin the way it feels, just to be alive, gettin the chance to ride
on the big wheel

ive taken my share of dead end curves
hadta steady my nerves and steel my courage
had a lot of hard landing but i aint hanging up my wings
yeah im still ripping down that hill
still hanging on with all my will
lookin back now i still wouldn't change a thing
ive had a few lovers leave there mark
ive broken my pride and ive broken my heart
but im gonna live in the light, before it all goes dark

life's like a big wheel keeps on turning
time runs away every day im learning to
roll with the punches follow my hunches
lovin the way it feels, just to be alive, gettin the chance to ride
on the big wheel
on the big wheel

just to be alive
gettin the chance to ride,
on the big wheel
on the big wheel
on the big wheel

im still learning to ride on the big wheel
on the big wheel
