Songtext Bitter wheel Karla Bonoff

Bitter wheel

Late one night the wind changes direction

Mary says to herself, things are gonna get hot

Rolling down through town just picking up friction

Makes you want to hold on to what you've got

Bobby sits in his car looking over his shoulder

Says I feel like I've been here before

So many things I wished that I'd have told her

So much of me she's taking out that door

Bitter wheel's gonna roll tonight

Are you ready

I can feel it like a wire pulled tight

From the desert down to the shore

Nothing in your life is gonna be the same

When the ground starts shaking you're gonna forget

Everything you know

And let it roll

(let it roll)

Man talks to himself standing there on the corner

And I'm watching as we wait for the light

And I wonder, is it just getting older

Or is it just that some that sometimes we give up the fight

Bitter Wheel's gonna roll tonight

Are you ready

I can feel it like a wire pulled tight

From the desert down to the shore

Nothing in your life is gonna be the same

When the ground starts shaking you're gonna forget

Everything you know

And let it roll

(let it roll)

And the house you build

Can come down in the wind

It can set you free

Or it can lock you in

Bitter Wheel's gonna roll tonight

Are you ready

I can feel it like a wire pulled tight

From the desert down to the shore

Nothing in your life is gonna be the same

When the ground starts shaking you're gonna regret

Everything you know

And let it roll
