Lyrics

[00:19.56] The screen door slams
[00:22.06] Mary's dress waves
[00:26.12] Like a vision she dances across the porch
[00:29.50] As the radio plays
[00:32.99] Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
[00:36.31] Hey that's me and I want you only
[00:39.87] Don't turn me home again
[00:41.69] I just can't face myself alone again
[00:46.93] Don't run back inside
[00:48.81] darling you know just what I'm here for
[00:53.75] So you're scared and you're thinking
[00:55.75] That maybe we ain't that young anymore
[01:00.31] Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
[01:04.00] You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
[01:08.99] Oh and that's alright with me
[01:14.75] You can hide `neath your covers
[01:16.24] And study your pain
[01:18.30] Make crosses from your lovers
[01:19.93] Throw roses in the rain
[01:22.68] Waste your summer praying in vain
[01:24.87] For a savior to rise from these streets
[01:28.31] Well now I'm no hero
[01:30.30] That's understood
[01:30.81]
[01:31.78] All the redemption I can offer, girl
[01:34.46] Is beneath this dirty hood
[01:36.28] With a chance to make it good somehow
[01:38.96] Hey what else can we do now
[01:41.77] Except roll down the window
[01:44.46] And let the wind blow back your hair
[01:49.03] Well the night's busting open
[01:50.89] These two lanes will take us anywhere
[01:55.83] We got one last chance to make it real
[01:59.34] To trade in these wings on some wheels
[02:03.47] Climb in back
[02:05.22] Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
[02:10.09] Oh oh come take my hand
[02:13.03] Riding out tonight to case the promised land
[02:16.84] Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
[02:21.47] oh Thunder Road
[02:23.77] Lying out there like a killer in the sun
[02:26.40] Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
[02:30.46] Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
[02:36.33] Thunder Road
[02:39.46] Well I got this guitar
[02:41.59] And I learned how to make it talk
[02:46.34] And my car's out back
[02:48.22] If you're ready to take that long walk
[02:53.21] >From your front porch to my front seat
[02:56.46] The door's open but the ride it ain't free
[02:59.89] And I know you're lonely
[03:01.46] For words that I ain't spoken
[03:03.46] But tonight we'll be free
[03:04.96] All the promises'll be broken
[03:06.71] There were ghosts in the eyes
[03:08.40] Of all the boys you sent away
[03:12.58] They haunt this dusty beach road
[03:14.96] In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
[03:19.90] They scream your name at night in the street
[03:22.89] Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
[03:26.65] And in the lonely cool before dawn
[03:29.90] You hear their engines roaring on
[03:33.46] But when you get to the porch they're gone
[03:36.71] On the wind, so Mary climb in
[03:43.21] It's a town full of losers
[03:45.46] And I'm pulling out of here to win
