Wheels on My Heels

Rating: 3.5 Stars3.5 Stars3.5 Stars3.5 Stars
Words & Music: Sid Tepper/ Roy C. Bennett
Gotta do some livin', got the wanderlust
Better clear the highway 'cause I'm gonna move some dust
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollin', rolling along

Lots of pretty dollies try to fence me in
But I love 'em and leave 'em 'cause a tumbleweed's my kin
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollin', rolling along

Why do I keep movin', never settlin' down
Can it be I'm looking for a dream I haven't found
Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollin', rolling along

Oh I got wheels, wheels on my heels
And I gotta keep rollin', rolling along
Recorded: 1964/03/03, first released on Roustabout

Pretty good tune, but yes too short and the backing could use more punch. Could have been a real rocker if done properly. It was even shorter in the film!

A nice song, above average for movie songs. its way too short - just like "Steppin' Out of Line", another movie gem that could've been so much better had it been longer.

This is a cool song. Should have been another minute longer. Some of the rare good film songs were always too damn short.

A short, upbeat song in the vein of "What A Wonderful Life" from "Follow That Dream". This one is in "Roustabout" and even though it is the 3rd song in the movie, it is the last song on the album. Good song, Good film, good soundtrack LP.

I kinda like this song... too short tho'. I've always felt Queen's "A Crazy Thing Caled Love" took the intro from this one.
