[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
