Wheels of Fortune ft. Joe Spivey Lyrics

I was old enough to drive when grandpa said to me

Look inside this old shed, there's something you should see

He put a key inside the padlock then he opened up the doors

There beneath decades of dust sat an old souped up Ford

He said he used to race the dirt tracks when he was just a kid

He didn't make a lot of money but he was good at what he did

But he had to raise a family, bought a farm and worked the fields

But nowadays he'd made a fortune turning circles on four wheels

He said I'd be glad to teach you if you want to learn to race

And if you listen closely then you'll be the one they chase

Running on those oval tracks from Charlotte up to Maine

Riding on the wheels of fortune, it could be your claim to fame

He used to run some whiskey in the hills way back then

And it's hard to make a living if you're slow at selling sin

But he had to make a dollar, when money was hard to find

I always made a profit if the law was way behind

I've won my share of checkered flags from Charlotte up to Maine

And I've made myself some money everybody knows my name

I've gotta thank my grandpa for the blood inside my veins

And the heart that beats inside me where his memory remains

He said I'd be glad to teach you if you want to learn to race

And if you listen closely then you'll be the one they chase

Running on those oval tracks from Charlotte up to Maine

Riding on the wheels of fortune, it could be your claim to fame

He said I'd be glad to teach you if you want to learn to race

And if you listen closely then you'll be the one they chase

Running on those oval tracks from Charlotte up to Maine

Riding on the wheels of fortune, it could be your claim to fame

Riding on the wheels of fortune it's been my claim to fame
