Big wheels keep on turnin' is also a lyric in Proud Mary by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Well yes it was a trick, but as a defense. All the others were first lines of lyrics. The CCR lyric is deep in the song.

Though in Ut's defense and as he posted below...Proud Mary is "Big Wheel"...not plural.
