| [00:19.34] |
The screen door slams |
| [00:21.56] |
Mary's dress waves |
| [00:24.18] |
|
| [00:25.62] |
Like a vision she dances across the porch |
| [00:28.92] |
As the radio plays |
| [00:31.48] |
|
| [00:32.48] |
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely |
| [00:35.79] |
Hey that's me and I want you only |
| [00:39.34] |
Don't turn me home again |
| [00:41.22] |
I just can't face myself alone again |
| [00:45.51] |
|
| [00:46.46] |
Don't run back inside |
| [00:48.33] |
darling you know just what I'm here for |
| [00:51.76] |
|
| [00:53.38] |
So you're scared and you're thinking |
| [00:55.32] |
That maybe we ain't that young anymore |
| [00:59.81] |
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night |
| [01:03.74] |
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright |
| [01:07.24] |
|
| [01:08.61] |
Oh and that's alright with me |
| [01:11.85] |
|
| [01:14.23] |
You can hide `neath your covers |
| [01:16.35] |
And study your pain |
| [01:17.78] |
Make crosses from your lovers |
| [01:19.65] |
Throw roses in the rain |
| [01:22.09] |
Waste your summer praying in vain |
| [01:24.52] |
For a savior to rise from these streets |
| [01:27.95] |
Well now I'm no hero |
| [01:29.76] |
That's understood |
| [01:31.39] |
All the redemption I can offer, girl |
| [01:33.88] |
Is beneath this dirty hood |
| [01:36.00] |
With a chance to make it good somehow |
| [01:38.51] |
Hey what else can we do now |
| [01:41.26] |
Except roll down the window |
| [01:44.13] |
And let the wind blow back your hair |
| [01:47.56] |
|
| [01:48.81] |
Well the night's busting open |
| [01:50.50] |
These two lanes will take us anywhere |
| [01:55.55] |
We got one last chance to make it real |
| [01:59.17] |
To trade in these wings on some wheels |
| [02:02.35] |
|
| [02:03.22] |
Climb in back |
| [02:04.91] |
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks |
| [02:07.47] |
|
| [02:09.78] |
Oh oh come take my hand |
| [02:12.77] |
Riding out tonight to case the promised land |
| [02:16.77] |
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road |
| [02:21.13] |
oh Thunder Road |
| [02:23.38] |
Lying out there like a killer in the sun |
| [02:26.30] |
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run |
| [02:30.13] |
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold |
| [02:35.50] |
|
| [02:36.12] |
Thunder Road |
| [02:38.18] |
|
| [02:39.18] |
Well I got this guitar |
| [02:41.12] |
And I learned how to make it talk |
| [02:43.74] |
|
| [02:46.11] |
And my car's out back |
| [02:47.79] |
If you're ready to take that long walk |
| [02:52.16] |
|
| [02:52.91] |
>From your front porch to my front seat |
| [02:55.53] |
|
| [02:56.22] |
The door's open but the ride it ain't free |
| [02:59.65] |
And I know you're lonely |
| [03:01.21] |
For words that I ain't spoken |
| [03:02.89] |
But tonight we'll be free |
| [03:04.52] |
All the promises'll be broken |
| [03:06.32] |
There were ghosts in the eyes |
| [03:08.38] |
Of all the boys you sent away |
| [03:10.63] |
|
| [03:12.32] |
They haunt this dusty beach road |
| [03:14.69] |
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets |
| [03:19.55] |
They scream your name at night in the street |
| [03:22.55] |
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet |
| [03:26.29] |
And in the lonely cool before dawn |
| [03:29.60] |
You hear their engines roaring on |
| [03:33.16] |
But when you get to the porch they're gone |
| [03:36.71] |
On the wind, so Mary climb in |
| [03:41.08] |
|
| [03:42.95] |
It's a town full of losers |
| [03:45.08] |
And I'm pulling out of here to win |
