My Wheels Won't Turn Lyrics

I met a man who bought up land Wherever his feet would tread He asked me to El Paso Said I could stay on his spread He has horses and cows and tractors and plows And all kinds of money to burn But how can I get to Texas When my wheels won't turn There was a lady from Spain Who had a fine frame Then she moved to Hollywood She said come and stay for a week and a day I said I did not think I could She said the sunshine's fine I could spend some time There are lessons I could learn But how can I get to L.A. When my wheels won't turn How can I get to L.A. When my wheels won't turn I'm standin' still 'Cause my wheels won't turn I'm not in love And my fuel won't burn for you At a college of knowledge I tried to learn All the tricks to beat the system I'd hide nooks and memorize my books 'Till I knew I'd never never miss them Eventually I got my degree But the real thing I did learn You just can't hit your home run If your wheels won't turn There was a man in white Who did things right Now he watches from above He said here's the way that I want you to pray And the way to live and love So I saw the light and did things right But the candle would not burn Tell me, how can I get to heaven If my wheels won't turn How can I get to heaven If my wheels won't turn
