1. Said farewell to my last hotel, it never was much kind of abode,

        A

    Glasgow town never brought me down,

 

    when I was heading out on the road.

       A

    Carlisle City never looked so pretty, and the Kendal freeway’s fast,

      A

    slow down driver, want to stay alive, I want to make this journey last.

 

   A

Helen, hell on wheels, ain’t nobody else gonna know the way she feels,

   A                                               E                                    A

Helen, hell on wheels, and they never gonna take her away.

2. M 6 down to Liverpool, where they play the west-coast sound,

      A

    sailor Sam he came from Birmingham, but he never will be found.

       A

    Doing fine when a London sign greets me like a long lost friend,

    A

  Mister Motor won’t you check her out, she’s got to take me back again.

 

+  CHORUS

 

       A

3. Got no time for a rum and lime, I wanna get my right foot down,

        A

    shake some dust off this old bus, I gotta get her out of town.

        A

    Spend the day upon the motorway, where the carburettors blast,

      A

    slowdown driver, wanna stay alive, I want to make this journey last.

 

+  CHORUS   +  A ~ ~ .....
