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 is fast Slow down, driver, I want to stay alive, I want to 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'll 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 Doing 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'll never gonna take her away
Got no time for a rum and lime, I want to get my right foot down (Get my right foot down) Shake some dust off of this old bus, I gotta get her out of town (Get her out of town) Spend the day upon the motorway where the carburettors blast (Carburettors blast) Slow down driver, want to stay alive, I want to 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'll never gonna take her away
