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

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 its six lights down, six lights back

Pacing like a lion in a cage

Chorus

He's running on a tether

Tearing at the ground

Trying to find a way to break the chain

This howling in the distance

Its a captivating sound

Can't tell if its 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

Its 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
