She grew up where guns get low
She ain't got no place to go
Undaunted but always on the run

She's the girl behind the lines
She ain't dressed up to the nines
She's wondering what have they done

But deep inside there's a woman's heart that cries
It's a broken heart
That never mends again

Wheels on fire, keep on rollin'
Take her home into your paradise
Wheels on fire, no more crying
Fly away on wings of time
In purple lace with diamonds in her hair
Oh, she's so beautiful, it's all beyond compare

She feels hungry and bizarre
Hates the burning face of war
She won't have it any more

But deep inside there's a woman's heart that cries
It's a broken heart
That never mends again

Wheels on fire, keep on rollin'
Take her home into your paradise
Wheels on fire, no more crying
Fly away on wings of time
In purple lace with diamonds in her hair
Oh, she's so beautiful, it's all beyond compare
