Bruce Springsteen Wings for Wheels Lyrics

Wings for Wheels Lyrics

Bruce Springsteen

• The screen door slams, christine's (angelina's) dress waves
• Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
• Roy orbison singing for the lonely
• (hey) that's me (babe) and I want you only
• Don't turn me home again
• I just can't face myself alone (in that mirror) again tonight
• Don't run back inside, you know just what I'm here for
• So you're scared and you're thinking
• That maybe you (we) ain't that young anymore
• Show a little faith (well woman) there's magic in the night
• You ain't a beauty but hey (baby, ah) you're alright
• And that's alright with me
• This 4/4 she's gonna overheat
• Make up your mind girl I gotta get her back out on the street
• I know you're lonely like me so baby don't try and fake it
• I'm no prince and I can't lay the stars at your feet
• But I got this old car and she's pretty tough to beat
• There's plenty of room in my front seat, baby if you wanna take it
• Oh roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
• It's like the rushing touch, the dirty wings them highway angels wear
• Well tonight we're gonna find out how it feels
• I'm gonna trade in your wings - for wheels
• Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
• Ah, mama, come take my hand (well now try hard chrissie to understand)
• We're gonna ride all the way to the promised land
• Oh I'm gonna dance all the way, dance all the way
• (babe if you're born with nothing in your hands
• Hey it's your only chance)
• Well I don't know but baby I've been told
• There's something waiting for us, down that dirty road
• Oh take a chance, take a chance, take a chance
• (oh I wish you would come
• So leave what you've lost, leave what's grown old on thunder road)
• Well now I bought this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
• I got my car parked out back if you're ready to take that long walk
• From your front porch to my front seat
• Well I think we could take it all babe, just you and me
• Climb in back baby, the ride's for free
• Oh come take my hand, we're gonna ride all the way to the promised land
• We'll dance all the way
• Oh baby I don't know but I've been told
• There's something waiting for us, down that dirty road
• If we take our chance, take our chance
• Now the season's over and I feel it getting cold
• I wish I could take you to some sandy beach where we'd never grow old
• Ah but baby you know that's just jive
• But tonight's bustin' open and I'm alive
• Oh do (baby) whay you can to make me feel like a man
• But this 4/4/2's gonna overheat
• Make up your mind girl, I gotta get her back out on the street
• I know you're lonely like me, oh so don't fake it
• And maybe I can't lay the stars at your feet
• But I got this old car and she's pretty tough to beat
• There's plenty of room in my front seat
• Oh if you think you can make it, climb in (so christine climb in)
• This is town full of losers and baby I was born to win
