Lyrics
VERSE: The shocks are shot the body's rusted through
It won't turn over I don't know what to do
I'm kicking rubber cussing steel
Pounding my fists on the steering wheel
I can't believe I come all this way
To be double-crossed by a Chevrolet
CHORUS: Wheels don't fail me now
Gotta get back to my baby
Don't you let me down
Just ninety minutes from an angel's kiss
Why'd you have to pick a time like this
Wheels don't fail me now
VERSE: She's got electric eyes the softest skin
Who could blame me for the shape I'm in
I grab a quarter can't find a phone
(rewrite: Can't even call her Forgot my phone)
Ain't gonna spend another night alone
A hundred more miles that's all I need
I'm twisting wrenches til my knuckles bleed
CHORUS
Karl Williams (ASCAP) / Robert C. Welsh (ASCAP) / Doc Randolf (BMI)
