A                    E
Imagine myself in an automobile
   D       D/C#     D/B  D/G#  A
a hundred miles an hour, only me at the wheel.
A                       E
I want it to shine, to be only mine
    D      D/C#    D/B  D/G# A
the engine has to be oh just one of a kind.

F#m       D            A
How many dollars do I need sir?
F#m         D                 A
You know I sure don't have a lot
F#m            D                A
There must be something we can work out
Bm7                E
Well, I'll take it anyway

I guess I could make room for one, a bottle of rum
You and me together riding into the sun
Live without care, with the wind in my hair
I'm driving through the desert, yeah I'll go anywhere

Chorus:
                    D     A    C#7     F#m
Take me where the wheels take me, far away
  D     A     C#7       F#m
Wheels take me, I can't stay
  D     A   C#7         Bm7 E
Wheels take, anyplace today

Imagine myself in an automobile
A hundred miles an hour if you know how I feel
Alone with my mind, leave my worries behind
I might even reach the border, it's just a matter of time

Chorus:
I said take me where the wheels take me, far away
Wheels take me, I can't stay
Wheels take me, any place today

Oh I'm going to San Diego, here I come
San Francisco, it won't be long
Sacramento, yeah in the sun
I just might go

Oh, I said I'm going to San Diego and San Jose
San Fransisco and hang by the bay
Sacramento, yeah all the way
I just might go all the way to Mexico
I just might go all the way down to Mexico
