[Intro: ](E)  (B)  (A)  (E) 
  
Got a (E) long distance call from Louisiana' 
She said, "oooohwee baby, wanna see my man" 
(A) Can't wait another day 
I said, (E) "Hold on baby, I'm on my way" 
 
   	 Now, it's (A) 500 miles 
 	 From (E) Dallas to New Orleans 
 	 I'm gonna (A) let her roll as fast as she'll go 
 	 Got a (E) sweet thing waiting for me 
 	 (A) This time I'll be highway flyin' 
 	 No (E) way I'm gonna take it (A) slow 	  
 	 She's my (E) heart's desire 
 	 I got (B) wheels of fire 
 	 (A) I'm burnin' up the (E) road 
 
(E) All the way to Baton Rouge 
Well, I'm smokin' these tires like a crazy fool 
(A) Barrelin' down the interstate 
Run(E)nin' wild, attemptin' fate 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
(E) Engine's overheatin', but I ain't gonna stop 
She only lives a few more blocks 
(A) Blood's pumpin' fast, radiator's hissin' 
I can (E) almost feel the huggin' and kissin' 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
    	 She's my (E) heart's desire 
 	 I got (B) wheels of fire 
 	 (A) I'm burnin' up the (E) road
