Wheels On My Heels
Elvis Presley · Viva Las Vegas/Roustabout
Gotta do some livinÂ’, got the wanderlust
Better clear the highway Â’cause IÂ’m gonna move some dust
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollinÂ’, rolling along
Lots of pretty dollies try to fence me in
But I love Â’em and leave Â’em Â’cause a tumbleweedÂ’s my kin
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollinÂ’, rolling along
Why do I keep movinÂ’, never settlinÂ’ down
Can it be IÂ’m looking for a dream I havenÂ’t found
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollinÂ’, rolling along
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollinÂ’, rolling along
Better clear the highway Â’cause IÂ’m gonna move some dust
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollinÂ’, rolling along
Lots of pretty dollies try to fence me in
But I love Â’em and leave Â’em Â’cause a tumbleweedÂ’s my kin
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollinÂ’, rolling along
Why do I keep movinÂ’, never settlinÂ’ down
Can it be IÂ’m looking for a dream I havenÂ’t found
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollinÂ’, rolling along
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollinÂ’, rolling along
