about

Songwriter Charles Hansen says, "This song was written out of sheer frustration, while driving on a deserted rte 93, during the March/April 2020 lockdown."

lyrics

Come Saturday nite
We’ll be aching
Recreating
All the times we had before

We’ll go for a ride
On the parkway
Before dark days
With no lantern take ahold

Some things have changed
From what we remember
Last December
And they’ve really taken hold

Is there a way to get back
Way to get back
Way to get back
Back to an easy time?

Like Saturday nite
At the tavern
We’d be playing
Like all the times before
But now the stage
Has been struck down
It’s a shutdown
No more dancing on the floor
Some things have changed
From what we remember
Last December
And it’s really taken hold.

Is there a way to get back
Way to get back
Way to get back
Back to an easy time?

Some Saturday Nite
Not too long now
After shutdown
We’ll be playing like before
We’ll go for a ride
On the parkway

After Dark days
With no lantern
Lose their hold
Like all the times before
