( Road song lyrics )
WHEELS ON THE ROAD
Copyright © 1998 - mickterry.com

1: Got my wheels on the road & I'm a-doing it right,
cruising along, another Saturday night.
Lindsey's in the back seat, drinking into trouble.
Jesse's got his head down, thinks he's seeing double
from watching Jill & Danny working overtime.-
Kelly's got her body close to crawling over mine.

2: Driving along with nowhere better to be,
Lindsey suggests that we should go to the sea.
Jesse thinks it's crazy, much too far to go.-
Kelly really likes it, puts it to a vote.-
But neither Jill nor Danny stop for very long.-
Little did they know that's where I'm heading all along.

CHORUS:
Wheels on the road & we're flying,
wheels on the road.
Wheels on the road:
closer to the sky than I am to the ground.

3: Got my wheels on the road & I'm a-doing it fast,
flying along with all the signs streaking past.
A flashing in my mirror coming from behind:-
looks like we're in trouble, in for it this time.-
So Lindsey dumps her brewery, ev'ry bottle smashed.-
Just when we think we've had it,
then the cop goes screaming past.
CHORUS:

4: Got my wheels on the road, now I'm a-doing it light.
'Nother two miles & now the ocean's in sight.
Kelly's going crazy: she'd never seen the sea.-
Jesse's got a headache, says he wants to leave.-
But Lindsey's so ecstatic, no one could bring her down.-
Neither Jill nor Danny knew we even left the town.

5: Stopping my wheels with all the ocean in reach,
everyone's out & running down to the beach,
except for Jill & Danny, off behind a dune.-
Now Lindsey's got her clothes off, howling at the moon.-
Kelly's body glistens, sparkling in the glow.-
Barely in the water, Jesse says we've got to go.
CHORUS:

6: Got my wheels on the road & I'm a-doing it right,
heading for home, no longer Saturday night.
Lindsey's in the back seat, sleeping off her trouble.
Jesse's got his head down, swears he's seeing double
from hoping Jill & Danny might come up for air.-
Kelly's got her top down & I'm close to being there.
CHORUS:
