LYRICS

Chained to the wheel Know what you really need You can’t get enough Too many mouths to feed Ain’t life though Call this survival Don’t pray for a sign Know what you really want You can’t get it back Down on the water front Better watch out jack Nights on the mainline Rust on the rail Chorus I’ve seen ´em swindle this town I’ve seen ´em tumble it down I’ve seen red rivers, fire and steel I’ve felt the thunder chained to the wheel Know what you mean to me Goes deeper then that Can’t find our destiny Don’t know where it’s at Don’t look for light’n Or pray for a sign I’ve heard the legends I’ve watched the skies I feel the power The flame in your eyes Chorus
