Story Behind The Song

This song was written about my daughter Joelle Beebe, aka ?Refhater?. She and I go to training camp for the Detroit RedWings and this song describes her experience there. The rookies that make training camp so much fun. They always come out and sign autographs for us.

Song Description

Spinning Wheels is about a female hockey fan who is dreaming and fantasizing about meeting her favorite player. She feels like a rookie, trying to make the team. Spinning Wheels is a play on words, as the Detroit Redwings have a Winged wheel on their sweaters.

SPINNING WHEELS

YOU WALK OUT FROM TRAINING CAMP
LOOKIN? GOOD, YOUR HAIR STILL DAMP
I?M WONDERIN? IF TODAY, YOU WILL NOTICE ME
I DON'T HAVE THE NERVE, WHAT WOULD I SAY
GOING IN CIRCLES, SKATING THIS WAY
IF YOU KNEW HOW I FELT, MAYBE YOU WOULD SEE
I GUESS FOR NOW,
THIS IS HOW IT'S GONNA BE

SPINNING WHEELS, SPINNING WHEELS
LIKE THE ROOKIES DO
SPINNING WHEELS, SPINNING WHEELS
WISH I COULD TELL YOU
I'D HOLD YOU IN THE MORNIN'
LOVE YOU IN THE EVENIN'
TELL YOU JUST HOW I FEEL
BUT FOR NOW
I'M JUST SPINNING WHEELS

I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT YOU
JUST YOUR NAME, AND WHAT YOU DO
ARE YOU IN LOVE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE?
I WALK UP TO YOU FOR AN AUTOGRAPH
THE CLOSER I GET, THE LESS THERE'S A CHANCE
I WILL FIND THE WORDS, TO EVEN SPEAK
I TURN AROUND, AND SPIN BACK TO MY SEAT

SPINNING WHEELS, SPINNING WHEELS
LIKE THE ROOKIES DO
SPINNING WHEELS, SPINNING WHEELS
WISH I COULD TELL YOU
I'D HOLD YOU IN THE MORNIN'
LOVE YOU IN THE EVENIN'
TELL YOU JUST HOW I FEEL
BUT FOR NOW, I'M JUST SPINNING WHEELS

SPINNING WHEELS, SPINNING WHEELS
LIKE THE ROOKIES DO
SPINNING WHEELS, SPINNING WHEELS
WISH I COULD TELL YOU,
THAT I'D HOLD YOU IN THE MORNIN'
LOVE YOU IN THE EVENIN'
TELL YOU JUST HOW I FEEL
BUT FOR NOW, I'M JUST SPINNING WHEELS
BUT FOR NOW, I'M JUST SPINNING WHEELS
OH OH OH, I?M SPINNING MY WHEELS
