Thunder Road (Live)

[00:00.06]The screen door slams

[00:22.35]Mary's dress waves

[00:26.12]Like a vision she dances across the porch

[00:30.03]As the radio plays

[00:33.81]Roy Orbison singing for the lonely

[00:37.43]Hey that's me and I want you only

[00:41.34]Don't turn me home again

[00:43.64]I just can't face myself alone again

[00:49.38]Don't run back inside

[00:51.17]Darling you know just what I'm here for

[00:54.42]So you're scared and you're thinking

[00:59.10]That maybe we ain't that young anymore

[01:02.96]Show a little faith there's magic in the night

[01:06.98]You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright

[01:14.76]Oh and that's alright with me

[01:18.68]You can hide 'neath your covers

[01:21.95]And study your pain

[01:23.84]Make crosses from your lovers

[01:25.68]Throw roses in the rain

[01:28.31]Waste your summer praying in vain

[01:30.90]For a savior to rise from these streets

[01:33.68]Well now I'm no hero

[01:36.11]That's understood

[01:37.85]All the redemption I can offer girl

[01:40.22]Is beneath this dirty hood

[01:42.35]With a chance to make it good somehow

[01:45.75]Hey what else can we do now

[01:48.39]Except roll down the window

[01:51.56]And let the wind blow back your hair

[01:56.36]Well the night's busting open

[01:57.75]These two lanes will take us anywhere

[02:00.84]We got one last chance to make it real

[02:06.93]To trade in these wings on some wheels

[02:10.74]Climb in back

[02:12.33]Heaven's waiting on down the tracks

[02:17.28]Oh oh come take my hand

[02:20.72]Riding out tonight to case the promised land

[02:25.19]Oh oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road

[02:29.28]Oh Thunder Road

[02:31.31]Lying out there like a killer in the sun

[02:34.46]Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run

[02:38.09]Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold

[02:44.58]Thunder Road

[02:47.75]Well I got this guitar

[02:49.86]And I learned how to make it talk

[02:55.37]And my car's out back

[02:56.69]If you're ready to take that long walk

[03:01.94]From your front porch to my front seat

[03:05.25]The door's open but the ride it ain't free

[03:09.03]And I know you're lonely

[03:10.40]For words that I ain't spoken

[03:12.38]But tonight we'll be free

[03:15.59]All the promises'll be broken

[03:17.55]There were ghosts in the eyes

[03:21.09]Of all the boys you sent away

[03:25.37]They haunt this dusty beach road

[03:27.87]In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets

[03:32.81]They scream your name at night in the street

[03:35.61]Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet

[03:38.58]And in the lonely cool before dawn

[03:42.93]You hear their engines roaring on

[03:45.95]But when you get to the porch they're gone

[03:50.04]On the wind so Mary climb in

[03:57.03]It's a town full of losers

[03:59.15]And I'm pulling out of here to win
