Winter is here again oh lord,
Havent been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer

Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of wood, not of clay
Ive been runnin down this sandy road

Donkey Wheel in the pit keeps on turnin
I dont know where they'll be tomorrow
Donkey Wheel in the pit keeps on turnin

Ive been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I cant take this very much longer
Im stranded in the sleet and rain
Dont think Im ever gonna make it home again
The mornin sun is risin
Its kissing the day

(chorus)

Donkey Wheel in the pit keeps on turnin
I dont know where they'll be tomorrow
Donkey Wheel in the pit keeps on turnin
