Hear Those Engines Wind Lyrics

Well I started out in Tulsa
In a little country band
Set my sails to the wind
Wound up in Birmingham
I learned a lot of lessons
And I paid a lot of dues
I wound up back in Oklahoma
With nothin' left to lose

Cause I've been ridin' that fast lane
For such a long time
And I learned that I loved
To hear those engines whine
To hear those engines whine

So I headed west to California
They said I'd be a star
My future didn't seem so bright
Sleepin' in my car
I headed out to Nashville
Tryin' to make a stand
They didn't like the way I looked
So I came home again

Cause I've been ridin' that fast lane
For such a long time
And I learned that I loved
To hear those engines whine
To hear those engines whine

I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I know that I'll go far
Whether I've got to beg, steal or borrow
Or drive back in my car
There ain't no used in making plans
It's one big waste of time
The only thing I know for sure
Is that I'm gonna let those engines whine

Cause I've been ridin' that fast lane
For such a long time
And I learned that I loved
To hear those engines whine
To hear those engines whine

I love to hear those engines whine
