Biografia:
Richard William Curless (March 17, 1932 – May 25, 1995) was an American country-music singer, a pioneer of the trucking music genre, commonly known as the "Baron of Country Music." He was easily distinguished because of the patch he usually wore over his right eye.

C F
This great and mighty nation will sing forever more
G7 C
Of the pioneers brave engineers and heroes by the score
F
But the world of transportation has its own breed just as great
G7 G
It's the men of steel behind the wheels of the big rigs haulin' freight
F
Listen to the rumble listen to the roar
G7 C
Of the big wheels on the highways from the mountains to the shore
F
Ole Buffalo Bill and Casey Jones would never have the gall
G7 C
To risk their fate on the interstate on the Big Wheel Cannonball
F
There's a lotta speculation when the big wheels roll at night
G7 C
Some think their destination is a truck stop on the right
F
With a little ole cat eyed waitress or a hot shot on the make
G7 C
But some I know would rather go for a hot chuck wagon steak
F
Listen to the rumble listen to the roar
G7 C
Hear the jingle of the jukebox see the action on the floor
F
Those giddy-up go-go babies do the monkey and the crawl
G7 C
When a swingin' combination plays the Big Wheel Cannonball
F
I try to keep my schedule the way most drivers do
G7 C
It's food and drinks and forty winks and then go ballin' through
F
But tonight I got a hang up she's the cutest little doll
G7 C
I'll see ya on the straight away on the Big Wheel Cannonball
F
On the Big Wheel Cannonball on the Big Wheel Cannonball
G7 C
Tonight she's ridin' shotgun and I warn you one and all
F
When a devil from St Luie takes an angel on his haul
G7 C
Don't look for any halo round the Big Wheel Cannonball
G7 C
Don't look for any halo round the Big Wheel Cannonball
