Johnny works in a factory |
| [00:16.44] |
Billy works downtown |
| [00:18.21] |
Terry works in a rock and roll band |
| [00:19.65] |
Looking for that million dollar sound |
| [00:24.27] |
I got a job down in Darlington |
| [00:26.97] |
Some nights I don't go |
| [00:28.71] |
Some nights I go to the drive-in |
| [00:29.70] |
Some nights I stay home |
| [00:31.08] |
I followed that dream |
| [00:32.10] |
Just like those guys do way up on the screen |
| [00:40.05] |
Drove my Challenger down Route 9 |
| [00:41.76] |
Through the dead ends and all the bad scenes |
| [00:54.78] |
The promise was broken |
| [00:55.74] |
Cashed in a few of my dreams |
| [00:56.85] |
Well I built that Challenger by myself |
| [01:02.10] |
But I needed money and so I sold it |
| [01:04.02] |
Lived a secret I should've kept to myself |
| [01:15.24] |
But I got drunk one night and I told it |
| [01:16.92] |
All my life, I fought that fight |
| [01:18.39] |
The fight that you can't win |
| [01:21.54] |
Every day it just gets harder to live |
| [01:22.95] |
The dream you're believing in |
| [01:25.56] |
Thunder Road, baby, you were so right |
| [01:31.29] |
Thunder Road, something dying down on the highway tonight |
| [01:34.71] |
Well I won big once and I hit the coast |
| [01:38.52] |
Yeah, but I paid the cost |
| [01:41.61] |
Inside I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits |
| [01:44.52] |
Of all the other ones who lost |
| [01:49.44] |
The promise is broken, you go on living |
| [01:50.94] |
It steals something from down in your soul |
| [01:52.98] |
When the truth is spoken, it don't make no difference |
| [01:54.30] |
Something in your heart goes cold |
| [01:58.56] |
I followed that dream through the southwestern tracks |
| [01:59.55] |
That dead ends in the two-bit bars |
| [02:01.20] |
The promise was broken, I was far away from home |
| [02:05.49] |
Sleeping in the back seat of a borrowed car |
| [02:06.42] |
Thunder Road is for the lost lovers and all the fixed games |
| [02:15.60] |
Thunder Road is for the tires rushing by in the rain |
| [02:17.79] |
Thunder Road me and Billy we'd always sing |
| [02:19.17] |
Thunder Road, take it all and throw it all away |
