Said farewell to my last hotel
it never was much kind of abode
Glasgow town never brought me down
when I was heading on the road.
Carlisle city never looked so pretty
and the Kendal freeway's fast
Slow down driver, want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last.
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.
M 6 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.
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.
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 want to make this journey last.
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.
