Lyrics Children of Jack (feat. Guy Forsyth) - Harmony Glen

At night when I was out riding
Along the dark highway
I get a feeling inside me
To throw all that I have away

And I'll leave all this behind me
Like that job that I had in the day
All the black dressing soul testing lovers and liars
And the speeding tickets I never pay

Do you believe in love at first sight
As a matter of fact I do
Every time I open my eyes
That saying comes true

'Cause I see you in the laundry mat
Black Irish washerwoman in a funeral hat
Italian ballerina on an asphalt stage
Bleach blond born of a Victorian age

America where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack we will never turn back
As we ride away in the light

And if I were to take you by force
And carry you away
Back to my bedroom
Just for music to play

And I'd play you the songs that I've written
And the ones that I can't seem to write
Maybe you'd know what you're missing
Maybe you'd stay past the night

America where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack we will never turn back
As we ride away in the light

My father built me this backpack
Just an inch or two big for real
I'll pack my guitar and the smoke from this bar
My songs and one hot meal

And I'll ride to the west chasing sunsets like gold
At dawn I'll ride to the east
I'll find all the friends that I've lost on the road
Maybe then I'll find me some peace

America where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack we will never turn back
As we ride away in the light

There's so much more to this wonderful world
Than we are sold on TV
So tell me if you're not already dead
That you'll come and live it with me

Leave your college plans to your one-night stands
Your business clothes and the rest
There's pleasure enough in your heart and your hand
Blue jeans suit you best

America where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack we will never turn back
As we ride away in the light
America where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack we will never turn back
As we ride away in the light

Children of Jack we will never turn back
As we ride away in the light
