[00:49.78]The screen door slams
[00:52.20]Mary's dress waves
[00:55.95]Like a vision she dances across the porch
[00:59.48]As the radio plays
[01:03.98]Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
[01:06.93]Hey that's me and I want you only
[01:10.98]Don't turn me home again
[01:12.71]I just can't face myself alone again
[01:18.37]Don't run back inside
[01:20.85]Darling you know just what I'm here for
[01:25.54]So you're scared and you're thinking
[01:27.97]That maybe we ain't that young anymore
[01:32.58]Show a little faith there's magic in the night
[01:36.17]You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
[01:40.77]Oh and that's alright with me
[01:48.76]You can hide `neath your covers
[01:50.93]And study your pain
[01:52.45]Make crosses from your lovers
[01:54.48]Throw roses in the rain
[01:57.26]Waste your summer praying in vain
[02:00.39]For a savior to rise from these streets
[02:03.18]Well now I'm no hero
[02:05.86]That's understood
[02:07.58]All the redemption I can offer girl
[02:10.32]Is beneath this dirty hood
[02:13.30]With a chance to make it good somehow
[02:16.04]Hey what else can we do now
[02:18.61]Except roll down the window
[02:21.45]And let the wind blow back your hair
[02:26.86]Well the night's busting open
[02:29.28]These two lanes will take us anywhere
[02:34.00]We got one last chance to make it real
[02:38.04]To trade in these wings on some wheels
[02:43.71]Climb in back
[02:44.72]Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
[02:50.28]Oh oh come take my hand
[02:54.08]Riding out tonight to case the promised land
[02:59.43]Oh oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
[03:06.64]Lying out there like a killer in the sun
[03:10.28]Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
[03:15.35]Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold
[03:21.91]Thunder Road
[03:26.82]Well I got this guitar
[03:28.84]And I learned how to make it talk
[03:33.85]And my car's out back
[03:36.13]If you're ready to take that long walk
[03:42.00]From your front porch to my front seat
[03:45.00]The door's open but the ride it ain't free
[03:49.60]And I know you're lonely
[03:51.77]For words that I ain't spoken
[03:53.84]But tonight we'll be free
[03:57.28]All the promises'll be broken
[04:00.67]There were ghosts in the eyes
[04:03.15]Of all the boys you sent away
[04:08.41]They haunt this dusty beach road
[04:10.84]In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
[04:15.60]They scream your name at night in the street
[04:19.95]Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
[04:24.04]And in the lonely cool before dawn
[04:27.89]You hear their engines roaring on
[04:32.45]But when you get to the porch they're gone
[04:36.23]On the wind so Mary climb in
[04:44.12]It's a town full of losers
[04:46.73]And I'm pulling out of here to win
