Bruce Springsteen - The Promise Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Johnny works in a factory and billy works downtown
  • Terry works in a rocknroll band
  • Looking for that million-dollar sound
  • Me I dont do nothing much,
  • I spend a lot of time alone
  • Some nights I go to the drive-in,
  • And some night I stay home
  • I followed that dream
  • Just like those guys do way up on the screen
  • Drove a chopped up challenger
  • Down route 9
  • Through the dead ends and all the bad scenes
  • And when the promise was broken
  • I cashed in a few of my dream
  • Well, I built that challenger by myself
  • But I needed money and so I sold it
  • I lived a secret I shouldve kept to myself
  • But I got drunk one night and I told it
  • All my life I fought that fight
  • The one that no man can never win
  • And every day it just gets harder
  • To live the dream Im believing in
  • Thunder road ...
  • I stay up every morning until it turns light
  • Thunder road ...
  • Theres something dying out on the highway tonight
  • Well now I won big once and I hit the coast,
  • Oh but somehow I paid the big cost
  • Inside I felt like I was carrying
  • The broken spirits of all the other ones who lost
  • When the promise is broken you go on living
  • But man it takes something from down in your soul
  • Like when the truth is spoken, it dont make no
  • Difference
  • Finally something in your heart turns cold
  • Yeah I followed that dream, me and some guysin the dead ends and all the
  • Two-bit bars
  • The night the promise was broken
  • I was drunk and far away from home,
  • Sleeping with a stranger
  • In the back seat of a borrowed car
  • Thunder road ...
  • Heres one for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
  • Thunder road ...
  • Heres one for the tires rushing by in the rain
  • Thunder road ...
  • I remember when me and billy, wed always say
  • Thunder road ...
  • We were gonna take it all, and throw it all away
