	Simple but great rocker that I really like. Paul has really improved his drumming since his debut solo album. He's got to work on the lead guitar parts tho. They remain not very fluent. Nice how they hammer on at 2.25 tho. I can clearly hear Linda sing 'Hell On Wheels' in the harmonies. There's a little Kansas City (say bye bye) (3.03)	Bobber	April 11, 2012

	Paul's "Back in the USSR" has always been regarded as his classic Beach Boy's style song, but this 'fast car' song equally fills the bill. One of his very best.	Bruce Beatlefan	December 9, 2005

Lyrics

Said farewell to my last hotel, it was never much kind of abode
Glasgow town never brought me down when I was heading out on the road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty and the kendal freeway's fast
Slowdown driver, want to stay alive, I want to make this journey last.

Helen, hell on wheels, ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen, hell on wheels, and they never gonna take her away

M6 south down to Liverpool, where they play the west coast sound,
Sailor sam he came from Birmingham but he never will be found
Doing fine when a London sign greets me like a long lost friend,
Mister motor won't you check her out, she's got to take me back again.

Helen, hell on wheels, ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen, hell on wheels, and they never gonna take her away
