Jes se rides
through the night,
un der the (G)Main Street light;
rid in’ slow.
This ol’ town
ain’t the same;
now, no bod y (G)knows his name.
Times have changed;
still he (Dm)rides.
Traf fic lights
keep in’ time,
oh, lead ing the (G)wild and rest less
through the night.
Still they ride
on (C)wheels of fire;
they rule the (Am)night.
Still they ride;
the strong will sur vive, chas ing (G)thun der.
Spin nin’ a round
in a spell,
woh, it’s time to leave this (G)car ou sel,
’round and ’round and (C)’round and ’round.
Still they ride
on (C)wheels of fire;
they rule the (C)night.
Still they ride;
the strong will sur vive, chas in’ (B)thun der
through the night.
