"Thunder Road"
Bruce Springsteen


The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways 
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, darling you know just what I'm here for 
So you're scared and you're thinking 
That 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 `neath your covers and study your pain 
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain 
Waste your summer praying in vain 
For a saviour to rise from these streets 
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood 
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath 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 
This two lanes will take us anywhere 
We got one last chance to make it real 
To trade in these wings on some wheels 
Climb in back - Heaven's waiting on down the tracks 
Oh-oh come take my hand 
Riding out tonight to case the promised land 
Oh-oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, 
Lying out there like a killer in the sun 
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run 
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold, Thunder Road 
 
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk 
And my 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 it ain't free 
And I know you're lonely and there's words that I ain't spoken 
But tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken 
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away 
They haunt this dusty beach road 
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets 
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 
But when you get to the porch they're gone 
On the wind, so Mary climb in 
It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win.
