Biography:
Steve Moakler has proved himself to be a master pop craftsman. His music is artistic, but accessible; indie roots with mass appeal. Listen to his music, and you too won’t deny his gift for sweet melodies and moving narratives that stick in your head like happy memories. His songs have a maturity you wouldn’t expect from a 23-year old who is quickly emerging as one of the best of a new generation of pop-rock songwriters who call Nashville home.

[Intro]
G C Em D (x2)
[Verse 1]
G
Wheels
C Em
Start off pushing you on four
D
and you don’t have a say in where you’re going
G
Wheels
C Em
Racing Matchbox on the floor
D
Crash and burn but everybody’s okay
G
and Then
C Em
you get a 10 speed at the store
D
And they’re popping off the curb before you know it
G
Those wheels
C Em
Countin’ down ‘til you're 16
D
So you can finally get your own set
[Chorus]
G
‘Cause they don’t slow down
C
The speed picks up
Em D
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
G
And the farther you roll
C
The faster they spin
Em D
They drive you away and bring you home again
C Em Am
I swear sometimes it feels
C D6/9 G
Like life’s just a set of wheels
[Verse 2]
G
Wheels
C Em
Roll your suitcase down the hall
D
Heading home ‘cause Mom says he ain’t got much more
G
Time
C Em
Two hands ticking on the wall
D
Keeping track of days and years and years and time
G
Like wheels
C Em
And now they’re spinning in your head
D
‘Bout what you’re gonna do with what you’ve got left
[Chorus]
G
‘Cause they don’t slow down
C
The speed picks up
Em D
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
G
And the farther you roll
C
The faster they spin
Em D
They drive you away and bring you home again
C Em Am
I swear sometimes it feels
C D6/9
Like life’s just a set of wheels
[Bridge]
Em
Burnin’ out in the driveway
D C
‘Cause you’re angry as hell
Em Am
Cryin’ just for a little
C Em
Hoping nobody can tell
D
You wanna go back
C
And try to slow ‘em dow
Em Am D6/9 G
But it all keeps spinning round and round like wheels
[Interlude]
G C Em D (x2)
[Chorus]
G
But they don’t slow down
C
The speed picks up
Em D
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
G
And the farther you roll
C
The faster they spin
Em D
They drive you away and bring you home again
C Em Am
I swear sometimes it feels
C D6/9
Like nothing can stop these wheels
[Outro}
