Helen Wheels lyrics

Said farewell to my last hotel

It was never 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's fast.

Slow down driver, want to stay alive

I want to make this journey last

Helen - Hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen - Hell on wheels

And they 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,

Mr Motor won't you check her out,

She's got to take me back again.

Helen - Hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen - Hell on wheels

And they never gonna take her away.

Got no time for a rum and lime

I wanna get my right foot down

Shake some dust off of this old bus

I gotta get her out of town

Spend the day upon the motorway

Where the carburettors blast

Slow down driver, wanna stay alive,

I want to make this journey last.

Helen - Hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen - Hell on wheels

And they never gonna take her away
