The Byrds - This Wheel's On Fire lyrics

rate me

Words by Bob Dylan

Music by Rick Danko

If your memory serves you well

We were going to meet again and wait

So I'm going to unpack all my things

And sit before it gets too late

No man alive will comfort you

With another tale to tell

But you know that we shall meet again

If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire

Rolling down the road

Best notify my next of kin

This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well

I was going to confiscate your lace

and wrap it up in a sailor's knot

And hide it in your case

If I knew for sure that it was yours

But it was oh so hard to tell

But you knew that we would meet again

If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire

Rolling down the road

Best notify my next of kin

This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well

You'll remember you're the one

That called on them to call on him

To get your favors done

And after every plan had failed

And there was nothing more to tell

You knew that we would meet again

If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire

Rolling down the road

Best notify my next of kin

This wheel shall explode
