AMERICA - WHEELS ARE TURNING lyrics

Written by Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, ©1998

Found on Human Nature.

Albuquerque will be there in the morning

Purple mountains will rise up from the floor

After that you can just lift up the curtain

And the whole world will be there at your door

Down the road you see the heat waves a waving

All the signs are telling you where to go

And for you, this is a bold invitation

It's all you need, you don't need any more

Those wheels are turning once again

Now the sun is rising out of the ocean

Diesel trucks are flying by on the shore

Yes that's your spirit inside you just waiting

It's time to move, now that much you must know

Step outside and take a breath of the morning (step outside the door)

And the wind will tell you which way to go

You are the needle on the compass for certain

The missing map has come back to your door

Those wheels are turning once again

Thunder in the canyon waking up the night (waking up the night)

Black crow with an indigo glow on the highway

Albuquerque will be there in the morning

Purple mountains will rise up from the floor

After that you can just lift up that curtain

And the whole world will be there at your door

Those wheels are turning once again

Thunder in the canyon waking up the night (waking up the night)

Black crow with an indigo glow on the highway

Barking in the canyon waking up the night

Black crow with an indigo glow on the highway

Those wheels are turning once again

They've always been your truest friend
