My Wheels Won't Turn

Bachman-Turner Overdrive

I met a man who bought up land 
Wherever his feet would tread 
He asked me to El Paso 
Said I could stay on his spread 
He has horses and cows and tractors and plows 
And all kinds of money to burn 
But how can I get to Texas 
When my wheels won't turn 
How can I get to Texas 
When my wheels won't turn 
Mmmm, they just won't move 
My wheels won't turn 
They just won't move 

There was a lady from Spain 
Who had a fine frame 
Then she moved to Hollywood 
She said come and stay for a week and a day 
I said I did not think I could 
She said the sunshine's fine 
I could spend some time 
There are lessons I could learn 
But how can I get to L.A. 
When my wheels won't turn 
How can I get to L.A. 
When my wheels won't turn 
Mmmm, they just won't move 

I'm standin' still 
'Cause my wheels won't turn 
I'm not in love 
And my fuel won't burn for you 
Yeah, my wheels won't turn, let's go 

At a college of knowledge I tried to learn 
All the tricks to beat the system 
I'd hide in nooks and memorize my books 
'Till I knew I'd never never miss them 
Eventually I got my degree 
But the real thing I did learn 
You just can't hit your home run 
If your wheels won't turn 
You just can't hit your homerun 
If your wheels won't turn, got to get movin' 

There was a man in white 
Who did things right 
Now he watches from above 
He said here is the way that I want you to pray 
And the way to live and love 
So I saw the light and did things right 
But the candle would not burn 
Tell me, how can I get to heaven 
If my wheels won't turn 
Tell me, how can I get to heaven 
If my wheels won't turn 
Mmmm, they just won't move 

I'm standin' still 
Cause my wheels won't turn 
I'm not in love 
And my fuel won't burn for you 
Ah, my wheels won't turn 
Won't turn for you 

Ah, my wheels won't turn 
My wheels won't turn 
Hey, my wheels won't turn 
My wheels won't turn 
Hey my wheels won't turn 

How can I get to Texas 
How can I get to L.A. 
How can I hit my homerun 
How can I get to heaven 
My wheels won't turn 
No, my wheels won't turn 
Yeah, my wheels won't turn 
Mama, my wheels won't turn 
Ooh, won't turn 
My wheels won't turn 
My wheels won't turn 
Ah, my wheels won't turn 
Ah, my fuel won't burn 

How can I get to Texas 
How can I get to L.A. 
How can I hit my homerun 
How can I get to heaven 
When my wheels won't turn 
Ah, my wheels won't turn 
Mmmmbop mmmmbop 
My wheels won't turn 
Mmmmbop mmmmbop 
My wheels won't turn 

I'm spinnin' 
Mmmm, you got me spinnin' 
Whoo, got me spinnin' 
Ah, got me spinnin' 
Yeah, my wheels won't turn 
Come on, my wheels won't turn 
Come on, my wheels won't turn 
Come on, my wheels won't turn 
Ah hey, my wheels won't turn 
Yeah, my wheels won't turn 
My heart won't turn 
I did get burned 
Yeah, my wheels won't turn 
Yeah, my wheels won't turn 
Yeah, my wheels won't turn 
Yeah, my wheels won't turn 

How get I get to...
