| [00:19.56] |
The screen door slams |
| [00:22.06] |
Mary's dress waves |
| [00:26.12] |
Like a vision she dances across the porch |
| [00:29.50] |
As the radio plays |
| [00:32.99] |
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely |
| [00:36.31] |
Hey that's me and I want you only |
| [00:39.87] |
Don't turn me home again |
| [00:41.69] |
I just can't face myself alone again |
| [00:46.93] |
Don't run back inside |
| [00:48.81] |
darling you know just what I'm here for |
| [00:53.75] |
So you're scared and you're thinking |
| [00:55.75] |
That maybe we ain't that young anymore |
| [01:00.31] |
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night |
| [01:04.00] |
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright |
| [01:08.99] |
Oh and that's alright with me |
| [01:14.75] |
You can hide `neath your covers |
| [01:16.24] |
And study your pain |
| [01:18.30] |
Make crosses from your lovers |
| [01:19.93] |
Throw roses in the rain |
| [01:22.68] |
Waste your summer praying in vain |
| [01:24.87] |
For a savior to rise from these streets |
| [01:28.31] |
Well now I'm no hero |
| [01:30.30] |
That's understood |
| [01:30.81] |
|
| [01:31.78] |
All the redemption I can offer, girl |
| [01:34.46] |
Is beneath this dirty hood |
| [01:36.28] |
With a chance to make it good somehow |
| [01:38.96] |
Hey what else can we do now |
| [01:41.77] |
Except roll down the window |
| [01:44.46] |
And let the wind blow back your hair |
| [01:49.03] |
Well the night's busting open |
| [01:50.89] |
These two lanes will take us anywhere |
| [01:55.83] |
We got one last chance to make it real |
| [01:59.34] |
To trade in these wings on some wheels |
| [02:03.47] |
Climb in back |
| [02:05.22] |
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks |
| [02:10.09] |
Oh oh come take my hand |
| [02:13.03] |
Riding out tonight to case the promised land |
| [02:16.84] |
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road |
| [02:21.47] |
oh Thunder Road |
| [02:23.77] |
Lying out there like a killer in the sun |
| [02:26.40] |
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run |
| [02:30.46] |
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold |
| [02:36.33] |
Thunder Road |
| [02:39.46] |
Well I got this guitar |
| [02:41.59] |
And I learned how to make it talk |
| [02:46.34] |
And my car's out back |
| [02:48.22] |
If you're ready to take that long walk |
| [02:53.21] |
>From your front porch to my front seat |
| [02:56.46] |
The door's open but the ride it ain't free |
| [02:59.89] |
And I know you're lonely |
| [03:01.46] |
For words that I ain't spoken |
| [03:03.46] |
But tonight we'll be free |
| [03:04.96] |
All the promises'll be broken |
| [03:06.71] |
There were ghosts in the eyes |
| [03:08.40] |
Of all the boys you sent away |
| [03:12.58] |
They haunt this dusty beach road |
| [03:14.96] |
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets |
| [03:19.90] |
They scream your name at night in the street |
| [03:22.89] |
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet |
| [03:26.65] |
And in the lonely cool before dawn |
| [03:29.90] |
You hear their engines roaring on |
| [03:33.46] |
But when you get to the porch they're gone |
| [03:36.71] |
On the wind, so Mary climb in |
| [03:43.21] |
It's a town full of losers |
| [03:45.46] |
And I'm pulling out of here to win |
