Intro: E  B  A  E 

      E  
Got a long distance call from Louisiana' 

She said, "oooohwee baby, wanna see my man" 
A
Can't wait another day 
        E
I said, "Hold on baby, I'm on my way" 
                   A
          Now, it's 500 miles 
              E
        From Dallas to New Orleans 
                   A
        I'm gonna let her roll as fast as she'll go 
               E
        Got a sweet thing waiting for me 
         A
        This time I'll be highway flyin' 
            E                     A
        No way I'm gonna take it slow         
                  E
        She's my heart's desire 
               B
        I got wheels of fire 
         A                  E
        I'm burnin' up the road 
E
All the way to Baton Rouge 

Well, I'm smokin' these tires like a crazy fool 
A
Barrelin' down the interstate 
   E
Runnin' 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' 
      E
I can almost feel the huggin' and kissin' 
 
Repeat Chorus 
                  E
           She's my heart's desire 
               B
        I got wheels of fire 
         A                  E
        I'm burnin' up the road
