This Wheel's On Fire

The Basement Tapes - may/october 1967  

If your memory serves you well
We were goin' to meet again an' wait
So i'm goin' to unpack all my things
An' sit before it gets too late.
No man alive will come up to you
With another tale to tell
An' you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well.

Wheel's on fire
Rollin' down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode.

If your memory serves you well
I was goin' to confiscate your lace
An' wrap it up in a sailor's knot
An' hide it in your case.
If i know for sure that it was yours
But it was, oh, so hard to tell
An' you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well.

This wheel's on fire
Is rollin' down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode.

If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done.
An' after every plan had failed
And there was nothin' more to tell
You knew that we should meet again
If your memory served you well.

This wheel's on fire
Is rollin' down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode.
