Default Centerlines on taxiways

My understanding is that you're always supposed to follow the centerline of a
taxiway with your nose wheel. However, I find that in very large aircraft,
such as a 747, doing so allows the rear of the aircraft to very nearly roll
off the taxiway in turns; it seems that I must swing the nose outward towards
the edge of the taxiway in turns so that the rear portion of the aircraft
stays reasonably centered--in much the same way that one steers a bus on a
city street. Is this kind of swinging outside the centerline the correct way
to do it, or am I missing something?
