Lyrics

Wheels of Fire

Since the dawn of time

I've rolled across the earth

Spinning in the dust

Long before your birth

Eating tar and gasoline

Every light I see is green

Open pipes

My machine's triple-plated chrome

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night

Ride across the sky

Wheels of fire burning bright

We live to ride

Motors running

Now, you're gonna learn

Waiting on the line

Make your tires burn

Fast, fast, fast, fast

Speeding always kills

Nothing else takes us to get these thrills

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night

Ride across the sky

Wheels of fire burning bright

We live to ride

Blood and thunder on the road

My heart is pounding

My blood's nitroglycerin, I'm fire

Burning, burning, burning, burning

Ready to explode

Don't want nothing left of me

To scrape off the road

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night

Ride across the sky

Wheels of fire burning bright

We live to ride

Clouds of smoke, tires screaming

Fire in my hair

Blown into a thousand pieces

Scattered everywhere

Fast, burn, burning, faster

Wanna take a ride

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire ride

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night

Ride across the sky

Wheels of fire burning bright

We live to ride

Wheels of fire burn the night

Ride across the sky

Wheels of fire burning bright

We live to ride
