When I was 16, I got a hand-me-down Ford
With paint off the bonnet and rust in the doors
It took a few turns for the motor to crank
And a lot of mowing lawns just to fill that tank
She wasn't pretty, to some it was no big deal
But it was wheels spinning around
You could hear that thunder, smell that rubber and steel
Wearing it out, 500 horses in a one-horse town
There was one thing that went with some time to kill
It was wheels
So now I had a ride in a shiny set of keys
While some of the girls started noticing me
At first I was cool, but it didn't take long
To figure out what was really turning them on
It wasn't my smile, charm or *** appeal
It was wheels spinning around
You could hear that thunder, smell that rubber and steel
Wearing it out, 500 horses in a one-horse town
There was one thing that went with some time to kill
It was wheels
So now I got a hand-me-down Ford
With paint off the bonnet and rust in the doors

And a lot of mowing lawns just to fill that tank
She wasn't pretty, to some it was no big deal
But it was wheels spinning around




There was no air conditioning
Had a crack windshield
With the roof line falling in
And the fan belt squeal
But it was wheels
Yeah
I had wheels
I had wheels
Yeah it was wheels spinning around
You could hear that thunder, smell that rubber and steel
Wearing it out, 500 horses, 500 horses
Wheels spinning around
You could hear that thunder, smell that rubber and steel
Wearing it out, 500 horses in my one-horse town
There was one thing that went with some time to kill
It was wheels
It was wheels
Let's get out of here.
