Words Are Your Wheels

(Phil VassarJulie Woods)

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
