Bruce Springsteen - The Promise Ii Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Johnny works in a factory and billy works downtown
  • Terry works in a rock n roll band looking for that million-dollar sound
  • Me I got a little job down in darlington but some nights I dont go
  • Some nights I go to the drive-in and some night I stay home
  • You see I followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the screen
  • With a built-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 old dreams
  • You see I built that challenger by myself
  • But I needed money and so I sold it
  • And I lived a secret I should have kept to myself
  • But I got drunk one night and I told it
  • All my life I fought that fight
  • The one that I cant ever win
  • And everyday it just gets harder to live
  • The dreams Im believing in
  • Thunder road
  • Oh baby you were so right
  • Thunder road
  • Theres something dying on the highway tonight
  • Well now my daddy taught me how to walk quiet
  • And how to make my peace with the past
  • And I learned real good to tighten up inside
  • And I dont say nothin unless Im asked
  • When the promise is broken you go on livin
  • But it takes something from down in your soul
  • Like when the truth is spoken
  • And it dont make no difference
  • Something in your heart turns cold
  • You see I followed that dream, me and some guys
  • Through the dead ends and all the two-bit bars
  • When 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
  • And when it washes away with the rain
  • Thunder road
  • You learn to walk among the remains
  • Thunder road
  • I remember when me and terry wed always say
  • Thunder road
  • We were gonna take it all
  • And throw it all
  • Away
