THE SCREEN DOOR SLAMS
MARY'S DRESS WAVES
LIKE A VISION SHE DANCES
ACROSS THE PORCH
AS THE RADIO PLAYS
ROY ORBISON SINGIN'
FOR THE LONELY
HEY, THAT'S ME
AND I WANT YOU ONLY
DON'T TURN ME
HOME AGAIN
I JUST CAN'T FACE
MYSELF ALONE AGAIN
DON'T RUN BACK INSIDE
DARLIN', YOU KNOW
JUST WHAT I'M HERE FOR
SO, YOU'RE SCARED
AND YOU'RE THINKIN'
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 ALL RIGHT
OH, AND THAT'S
ALL RIGHT 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
PRAYIN' IN VAIN
FOR A SAVIOUR TO RISE
FROM THESE STREETS
WELL, NOW 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
BUSTIN' OPEN
THESE TWO LANES
WILL TAKE US ANYWHERE
WE GOT ONE LAST
CHANCE TO MAKE IT REAL
TO TRADE IN THESE WINGS
ON SOME WHEELS
CLIMB IN BACK
HEAVEN'S WAITIN'
DOWN ON THE TRACKS
WOAH... COME TAKE MY HAND
WE'RE RIDIN' OUT TONIGHT
TO CASE THE PROMISED LAND
WOAH... THUNDER ROAD
OH, THUNDER ROAD
OH, THUNDER ROAD
LYIN' OUT THERE
LIKE A KILLER IN THE SUN
HEY, I KNOW IT'S LATE
WE CAN MAKE IT IF WE RUN
WOAH... THUNDER ROAD
SIT TIGHT
TAKE HOLD
THUNDER ROAD
WELL, I GOT THIS GUITAR
AND I LEARNED
HOW TO MAKE IT TALK
AND 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 AIN'T FREE
AND I KNOW YOU'RE LONELY
FOR WORDS THAT I AIN'T SPOKEN
BUT TONIGHT WE'LL BE FREE
ALL THE PROMISES'LL
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
AND IN THE LONELY
COOL BEFORE DAWN
YOU HEAR THEIR
ENGINES ROARIN' ON
WHEN YOU GET TO THE PORCH
THEY'RE GONE ON THE WIND
SO, MARY CLIMB IN
IT'S A TOWN FULL OF LOSERS
I'M PULLIN' OUT
OF HERE TO WIN...
