Wheels Go Round
Life's Journey: Love, Loss, and Legacy in 'Wheels Go Round'
Lyrics
Mamma was crying, and Daddy was too
Mamma and Daddy are emotional, likely at their daughter's wedding.
When that wedding song started to play
The wedding song triggers emotions during the ceremony.
For 18 years they've been holding her hand
They've supported their daughter for 18 years and now must let her go.
Now they gotta give her away
They have to give their daughter away in marriage.
To that lovestruck boy
Refers to the groom, deeply in love.
Up there saying those vows
The groom is expressing vows during the ceremony.
Their little girl's his girl now
Realization that their daughter belongs to her husband now.
And the wheels go round
Life's cycle: growing up, falling in love, and settling down.
And the wheels go round
-Yeah we grow up, we fall in love
-Run off and settle down
-And the wheels go round
-Grandpa left me his 40 acre farm
Inheriting the farm and truck, honoring the grandfather's legacy by hard work on the land.
And his old truck to drive
-It's been so long that he's been gone
-But I'm keeping his dream alive
-He said a man's only worth how hard he works
-So I'm out here turning this ground
-And the wheels go round
Continuation of life despite loss; staying strong and living up to expectations of those who've passed.
And the wheels go round
-Yeah we stay strong, we carry on
-Cause they're up there looking down
-And the wheels go round
-And the wheels go round
-We keep laughing, loving, living, and holding each other tight
Embracing life, love, and gratitude for each day as a gift from God.
With every new day, the first breath I take
-I thank God for this beautiful ride
-And the wheels go round
Symbolizes the continuity of life, the daily routine, and the cyclical nature of time.
And the wheels go round
-And the wheels go round
-And the wheels go round
-And the wheels go round
-Sun goes up
-The sun goes down
-And the wheels go round and round and round and round and round
-Enjoy the ride
An encouragement to enjoy life's journey despite its cyclical nature.
Yeah, the wheels go round, the wheels go round and round and round and round
-the wheels go round, the wheels go round
