Helen Wheels (2022 remaster) Songtext
von Wings

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′s 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′re 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're 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're never gonna take her away

Say bye-bye!
Bye-bye!
One, Two, Three, Four
