Helen Wheels

Wings · Band on the Run [1973]

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 (helen) hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen (helen) hell on wheels

And they never gonna take her away



M6 south down Liverpool, where they play the west coast sound

Sailor sam, he came from Birmingham, but he never will be found

Doin' 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 (helen) hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen (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 wanna make this journey last



Helen (helen) hell on wheels

Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels

Helen (helen) hell on wheels

And they never gonna take her away



Say bye-bye.....
