Vassar Phil - Words Are Your Wheels lyrics

Presented by Walmart: A song to promote literacy

Also featuring Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, and Brooks and

Dunn

Phil: A little boy eight years old

In a semi-circle, eyes aglow

Our teacher told us stories every day

Kenny: Huck Finn on the Mississippi

Fire breathin' dragons

With my friends with me

From our homeroom to the Milky Way

We were lost among the pages

And in the voice of Mrs.Davis, she said

Words are your wheels

To take you anywhere you feel

Phil: Where you can laugh or you can cry

And let your imagination fly

Let it lead you where it will

Sara: Your mind is an automobile

And words are your wheels

Phil There's an old man with all he's done

In his 98 laps around the sun

Somehow he never learned to read or write

B&D: And there's a kind soul who's had the pleasure

Of helping him tie the words together

It's never too late to change a life

Now there's a smile on his face

And there's a young heart standing in his place

Words are your wheels

To take you anywhere you feel

Where you can laugh or you can cry

Let your imagination fly

Let it lead you where it will

Your mind is an automobile

And words are your wheels

Martina:Don't need a rocketship, no red balloon to take a trip

The pages on your fingertips alone

Will take you where you want to go

Phil: Words are you wheels

Words are your wheels

To take you anywhere you feel

Where you can laugh and you can cry

Let your imagination fly

Let it take you where it will

Sara: Your mind is an automobile

And words are your wheels

Phil: Words are you wheels

Sara: Words are you wheels

Phil: Words are your wheels

Sara: Oh,words are your wheels
