My Wheels Won't Turn Lyrics - 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 

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 

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 home run 

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 

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 home run? 

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 home run? 

How can I get to heaven? 

When my wheels won't turn 

Ah, my wheels won't turn 

Bop, Bop 

My wheels won't turn 

Bop, Bop 

My wheels won't turn 

I'm spinnin', 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 can I get to?
