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
Just can't face myself alone anyone
Don't you run back inside
Darling, you know just what I'm here for
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)
Yeah, well, 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
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, these two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
Trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
Whoa-oh, come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to kiss the promised land
Whoa-oh-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, but we can make it if we run
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Thunder road, sit tight, take hold
Thunder Road
Well, I got this guitar, and I learned how to make it talk
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
I know you're lonely, these words that I ain't spoken
But tonight, girl, we'll be free, all the promises will 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
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, we're pulling out of here to win
Da-da-da-da-da
Come on
Come on
Da-da-da-da-da
