Thunder Road

In the style of

Bruce Springsteen

Lyrics

the screen
door slams
mary's dress waves

like a vision
she dances across
the porch as the
radio plays

roy orbison singing
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
darling you know
just what i'm here for
so 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 me

you can hide
'neath your covers
and study your pain
make crosses
from your lovers
throw roses
in the rain

waste your summer
praying 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
busting 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 waiting
down on the tracks

oh oh
come take my hand
riding out tonight
to case the
promised land

oh oh oh
thunder road
oh thunder road
oh thunder road

lying out there
like a killer in the sun
hey i know it's late
we can make it
if we run

oh oh oh
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
roaring on

but when you
get to the porch
they're gone
on the wind
so mary climb in

it's a town
full of losers
and i'm
pulling out of here
to win
