The screen door slams Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio playsRoy Orbison singing for
the lonelyHey 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 Darling you know
just whatI'm here forSo you're scared and you're thinking
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 alright
Oh and that's alright with meYou can hide `neath your covers
And study your painMake crosses from your loversThrow roses in the rainWaste your summer praying in vainFor a savior 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 hairWell
the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it realTo trade in these wings on some
wheelsClimb in backHeaven's waiting down on the tracks
Oh-oh come take my handRiding out
tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh
Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sunHey,
I know it's late, we can make it if we runOh Thunder Road,
sit tight, take holdThunder Road.
