Jesse rides through the night
Under the Main Street light
Ridin' slow
This ol' town, ain't the same
Now nobody knows his name
Times have changed, still he rides.
Traffic lights, keepin' time
Leading the wild and restless
Through the night
Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
Still they ride, the strong will survive
Chasing thunder
Spinning 'round, in a spell
It's hard to leave this carousel
'Round and 'round
And 'round and 'round
Chorus
This song of the week can be heard on Escape.
"Escape has a lot more vitality than some of our recent studio work,"
Perry explained. "We were all really 'up' for working on this album, and I think that shows when you
listen to it."
Steve Perry, Hit Parader Annual, 1982
