Wheels – AC/DC

She was a danger

Ain’t no stranger

You got me rock n rolling

Around the town

Just fooling around

She going to break you

Wanna make you

Going to make it

Want to take it down

She gonna ride you, wanna slide you down

Wheels

Spinning ’round my brain

Driving you insane

Wheels

Rolling ’round my head

Going through the red

She wanna shake you

No way to save you

She got me shot, I’m falling

I’m blowing it out

Know what I am talking about?

She gonna ride you

Want to slide you

Ain’t no faking

She want to take you out

You bet you’re right

She gonna spin you around

Wheels

Spinning ’round my brain

Driving you insane

Wheels

Rolling ’round my head

Going through the red

Wheels

Flying down the road

Ready to explode

Wheels

Burning up the road

Hitting overload

Wheels

Spinning ’round my brain

Driving you insane

Wheels

Rolling ’round my head

Going through the red

Wheels

Ready to explode
