Saturday They'll All Be Back Again Lyrics - David Wilcox

Johnny's out, cruising down the fast food strip 

He rides the high-wheeler Ford 

He's down here every evening since the school let out 

An ordinary man would be bored 

Johnny's got the hunger of a high school heart 

And a tank full of minimum-wage 

So it's six lights down, six lights back 

Pacing like a lion in a cage 

He's running on a tether 

Tearing at the ground 

Trying to find a way to break the chain 

This howling in the distance 

It's a captivating sound 

Can't tell if it's ecstasy or pain 

Saturday they'll all be back again 

All those engines pulling all night long 

Still makes a slow moving train 

They can scream out their freedom 

When the light turns green 

But they're bound to come 'round again 

Standing at a distance there's the dark haired girl 

Johnny doesn't know her name 

He howls his engine like a big, black dog 

Choking on his collar by his chain 

It's lonely, like hunger 

Driven to the same old place 

Rumble like thunder 

Don't you think that Angels hear 

The passion of this human race? 

Running on a tether, tearing at the ground 

Trying to find a way to break the chain 

This howling in the distance 

It's a captivating sound 

Can't tell if it's ecstasy or pain 

Saturday they'll all be back again 

Saturday they'll all be back again
