Wheels On My Heels

Elvis Presley · Roustabout [Soundtrack] [2010]

Gotta do some livin', got the wanderlust

Better clear the highway 'cause I'm gonna move some dust

Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels

And I gotta keep rollin', rolling along



Lots of pretty dollies try to fence me in

But I love 'em and leave 'em 'cause a tumbleweed's my kin

Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels

And I gotta keep rollin', rolling along



Why do I keep movin', never settlin' down

Can it be I'm looking for a dream I haven't found

Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels

And I gotta keep rollin', rolling along



Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels

And I gotta keep rollin', rolling along
