It Was Wheels Songtext
von Travis Collins

When I was sixteen I got a hand-me-down Ford
With paint off the bonnet and rust in the doors
It took a few turns for the motor to crank
And a lot of mowin′ lawns just to fill that tank
She wasn't pretty, to some it was no big deal

But it was wheels spinnin′ around
You could hear that thunder, smell that rubber
And steel wearin' it out
Five hundred horses in a one horse town
There was one thing that went with some time to kill
It was wheels

So now I had a ride and a shiny set of keys
Well some of the girls started noticin' me
At first I was fooled but it didn′t take long
To figure out what was really turnin′ 'em on
It wasn′t my smile, charm or sex appeal


It was wheels spinnin' around
You could hear that thunder, smell that rubber
And steel wearin′ it out
Five hundred horses in a one horse town
There was one thing that went with some time to kill
It was wheels

There was no air conditionin'
Had a cracked windshield
With the roofline fallin′ in
And the fan belts squeal
But it was wheels
Yeah, I had wheels

Yeah, it was wheels spinnin' around
Hear that thunder, smell that rubber
And steel wearin' it out

Five hundred horses, five hundred horses
Wheels spinnin′ around
Can hear that thunder, smell that rubber
And steel wearin′ it out
Five hundred horses in my one horse town
There was one thing that went with some time to kill
It was wheels
It was wheels

Aw, let's get out of here
