Give Me Some Wheels is the seventh studio album by the American country music singer-songwriter Suzy Bogguss, released on July 23, 1996 through Liberty Records. For the album's title track and lead-off single, Bogguss reunited with Matraca Berg and Gary Harrison, the co-writers of one of her most successful singles, "Hey Cinderella". However, lacking any real support from her label, "Give Me Some Wheels" reached only the bottom of the country charts. This was followed by "No Way Out" (later recorded by Julie Roberts on her self-titled debut album).

Country music, also known as country and western, and hillbilly music, is a genre of popular music that originated in the southern United States in the early 1920s. It takes its roots from genres such as folk music and blues.
