My wheels won't turn

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 rght
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
