[Verse 1]
Jesse rides through the night
Under the Main Street light
Riding slow
This old town, ain't the same
Now nobody knows his name
Times have changed
Still he rides
Traffic lights, keeping time
Woah, leading the wild and restless
Through the night
[Chorus]
Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
Still they ride, the strong will survive
Chasing thunder
[Verse 2]
Spinning around, in a spell
It's hard to leave this carousel
Round and round
And round and round
[Chorus]
Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
Still they ride, the strong will survive
Chasing thunder through the night
