Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road Lyrics
The screen door slamsMarys dress swaysLike a vision she dances across the porchAs the radio playsRoy orbison singing for the lonelyHey thats me and I want you onlyDont turn me home againI just cant face myself alone againDont run back insideDarling you know just what Im here forSo youre scared and youre thinkingThat maybe we aint that young anymoreShow a little faith, theres magic in the nightYou aint a beauty, but hey youre alrightOh and thats alright with meYou can hide `neath your coversAnd study your painMake crosses from your loversThrow roses in the rainWaste your summer praying in vainFor a savior to rise from these streetsWell now Im no heroThats understoodAll the redemption I can offer, girlIs beneath this dirty hoodWith a chance to make it good somehowHey what else can we do now?Except roll down the windowAnd let the wind blowBack your hairWell the nights busting openThese two lanes will take us anywhereWe got one last chance to make it realTo trade in these wings on some wheelsClimb in backHeavens waiting on down the tracksOh-oh come take my handRiding out tonight to case the promised landOh-oh thunder road, oh thunder road oh thunder roadLying out there like a killer in the sunHey I know its late we can make it if we runOh thunder road, sit tight take holdThunder roadWell I got this guitarAnd I learned how to make it talkAnd my cars out backIf youre ready to take that long walkFrom your front porch to my front seatThe doors open but the ride it aint freeAnd I know youre lonelyFor words that I aint spokenBut tonight well be freeAll the promisesll be brokenThere were ghosts in the eyesOf all the boys you sent awayThey haunt this dusty beach roadIn the skeleton frames of burned out chevroletsThey scream your name at night in the streetYour graduation gown lies in rags at their feetAnd in the lonely cool before dawnYou hear their engines roaring onBut when you get to the porch theyre goneOn the wind, so mary climb inIts a town full of losersAnd Im pulling out of here to win.
