Lyrics

The screen door slams as Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
So turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hеy, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with mе
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain
Eat your crosses with your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Oh well, I'm no hero, that's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Well, what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
Oh, the night's still young, but these two lanes will take us anywhere
We've got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
Oh-oh-oh, come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh-oh, thunder road, oh, thunder road, oh, thunder road
Light up like a killer in the sun
I know it's late, we can make it if we run
Oh-oh-oh, thunder road, sit tight, take hold, thunder road
Well, I got this guitar, and I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
From the front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride ain't free
I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken
Tonight we'll be free or the promise will be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road in the
Skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the streets
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
When you get to the porch they're gone on the wind
Mary, climb in
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win
