| [00:18.791] |
The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways |
| [00:25.521] |
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays |
| [00:32.301] |
Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely |
| [00:35.721] |
Hey, that's me and I want you only |
| [00:39.261] |
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again |
| [00:46.399] |
Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for |
| [00:53.189] |
So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore |
| [00:59.749] |
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night |
| [01:03.669] |
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright |
| [01:08.329] |
Oh, and that's alright with me |
| [01:13.919] |
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain |
| [01:17.629] |
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain |
| [01:22.049] |
Waste your summer praying in vain |
| [01:24.259] |
For a savior to rise from these streets |
| [01:27.709] |
Well now, I'm no hero, that's understood |
| [01:31.109] |
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood |
| [01:35.459] |
With a chance to make it good somehow |
| [01:38.209] |
Hey, what else can we do now? |
| [01:40.980] |
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair |
| [01:48.310] |
Well, the night's busting open, these two lanes will take us anywhere |
| [01:55.080] |
We got one last chance to make it real, to trade in these wings on some wheels |
| [02:02.680] |
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks |
| [02:09.040] |
Oh, come take my hand |
| [02:12.310] |
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land |
| [02:16.200] |
Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road |
| [02:20.638] |
Oh, Thunder Road |
| [02:22.775] |
Lying out there like a killer in the sun |
| [02:25.745] |
Hey, I know it's late, we can make it if we run |
| [02:29.795] |
Oh, Thunder Road, sit tight |
| [02:33.751] |
Take hold, Thunder Road |
| [02:38.565] |
Well, I got this guitar and I've learned how to make it talk |
| [02:45.465] |
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk |
| [02:52.085] |
From your front porch to my front seat |
| [02:55.535] |
The door's open but the ride ain't free |
| [02:59.055] |
And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken |
| [03:02.475] |
Tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken |
| [03:05.725] |
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away |
| [03:11.655] |
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets |
| [03:18.892] |
They scream your name at night in the street |
| [03:21.822] |
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet |
| [03:25.592] |
And in the lonely cool before dawn, you hear their engines roaring on |
| [03:32.282] |
But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind |
| [03:38.142] |
So, Mary, climb in |
| [03:42.142] |
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win |
