Lyrics

The screen door slams
And Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Girl, that's me and I want you only
Don't send me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't you 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 hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain
Make crosses for your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise on these streets
Well, I'm no hero, that's understood
All the redemption I can offer is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
So what else can we do now
Except roll down the window, let the wind blow back your hair
Well, the night's busting open and these two lanes
Can take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
We could trade in these wings on some wheels
So climb in back, girl, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
Oh, come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road, Thunder Road
Flying out there like a killer in the sun
I know it's late, we can make it if we run
Oh, Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make her talk
And the car's out back
If you're willing to take that long, long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door is open but the ride, it ain't free
Now I know you're lonely and there's words I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free and the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
They haunt these dusty beach roads
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
And they scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to your front porch, they're gone on the wind
So Mary, climb in
This is a town full of losers and we're pulling out of here to win
