Thunder Road -- Bruce Springsteen


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 )
