The screen door slams Mary' 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 nigh t
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 on down the tracks Oh-oh come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh Thunder Road
Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late we can
make it if we run 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 it 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 town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win
The lyrics to "Thunder Road" describe a young woman named Mary, her boyfriend, and their "one last chance to make it real." Thematically, it reads as a nostalgic companion piece to "Born to Run". ( From Wikipedia )
