Helen Wheels Lyrics

By Paul McCartney

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
Slowdown Driver, Want To Stay Alive, I Want To Make This Journey Last.
Chorus
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,
Mister Motor Won't You Check Her Out, She's Got To Take Me Back Again.
Chorus
(Last verse):
Got no time for her on the line I wanna get my right foot down (get my right foot down)
She told us stop this old bus I gotta get her outta town (get her outta town)
Spend the day up on the motorway where the carburators clash (carburators clash)
Slow down driver wanna stay alive I wanna make this journey last
Chorus

Say bye, bye
(bye, bye)

one... two... three... four...
a one... two... three... a four...
one... two... three... four...
one... two... three... four...
one... two... three... four or...
a one
