I wanna know who invented the wheel

Tell me who discovered steel

It was the wheel and the steel that caused this pain

And made the car that took her away

I wanna know who found the rock

Tell me who laid the blacktop

It was the rock and the blacktop that caused this pain

And made the road for the car that took her away

I wanna know who invented the wheel

[Chorus]

Somebody give me a name

I just need someone to blame

For all of this heartache

And pain I been feelin' since she let me go

I wanna know

I wanna know who invented the time

I didn't spend when she was mine

It was all that time I didn't take

Before the rock and the blacktop made the highway

For the wheel and the steel and the car that took her away

[Chorus]

I wanna know who invented the wheel
