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 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 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
