๐ Lyrics
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside, honey, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
Maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me
You can hide under covers and study your pain
Make crosses for your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well, I ain't no hero, that's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is leave this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey, what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
Well, the night's busting open, these two lanes can take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
I'm in that heaven's weight down on the tracks
Oh, oh, come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh, oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road
Riding up her like a killer in the sun
Hey, I know it's late, we can make it if we run
Oh, oh, Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
And the car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open, but the ride ain't free
And I know you're lonely for the words that I ain't spoken
But tonight, we'll be free, all these promises'll be broken
They'll close in the eye of the beholder, boys, you'll see the way
They hunt this dusty beach road in the
Skeleton frame of a burned-out Chevrolet
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
When you get to the porch, they're gone, on the wind
So Mary, climb in
It's a town full of losers, but I'm pulling out of here to win, yeah
Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside, honey, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
Maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me
You can hide under covers and study your pain
Make crosses for your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well, I ain't no hero, that's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is leave this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey, what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
Well, the night's busting open, these two lanes can take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real

Oh, oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road
Riding up her like a killer in the sun
