Helen Wheels

Said farewell to my last hotel

It never was much kind of abode

Glasgow town never brought me down

When I was heading out on the road

Carlisle city never looked so pretty

And the Kendal freeway is fast

Slow down, driver, wanna stay alive

I wanna make this journey last

Helen, hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen, hell on wheels

And they're never gonna take her away

M6 south down to Liverpool

Where they play the west coast sound

Sailor Sam, he came from Birmingham

But he never will be found

Doing fine when a London sign

Greets me like a long-lost friend

Mister Motor, won't you check her out?

She's gotta take me back again

Helen, hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen, hell on wheels

And they're never gonna take her away

Got no time for a rum and lime

I wanna get my right foot down (Get my right foot down)

Shake some dust off of this old bus

I gotta get her out of town (Get her out of town)

Spend the day upon the motorway

Where the carburettors blast (Carburettors blast)

Slow down, driver, wanna stay alive

I wanna make this journey last

Helen, hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen, hell on wheels

And they're never gonna take her away
