I wanna know

Who invented the wheel

Tell me who discovered steel

It was the wheel an' the steel

That caused this pain

And made the car that took him away

I wanna know who invented the wheel

I wanna know

Who found the rock

Tell me who laid the blacktop

It was the rock an' the blacktop

That caused this pain

And made the road for the car

That took him away

I wanna know who invented the wheel

Somebody give me a name

'Cause I just need someone to blame

For all of this heartache

And pain I've been feelin'

Since he had to go

I wanna know

I wanna know who invented the time

I didn't spend when he was mine

It was all that time I didn't take

It was the rock and the blacktop

That made the highway

For the wheel and the steel for the car

That took him away

Somebody give me a name

'Cause I just need someone to blame

For all of this heartache

And pain I've been feelin'

Since he had to go

I wanna know

I wanna know

I wanna know who invented the wheel
