[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
