Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
FA#m SOLLike a vision dancing across the porch as the radio plays
LA RE SOLRoy 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, honey, you know just what I'm here for
And you're scared and you're thinking that
FA#m SOLMaybe we ain't that young any more
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
RE SOLYou ain't a beauty but eh, you're all right
RE LAOh and that's alright with me
RE SOL
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain,
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
RE FA#m SOL LAWaste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets
RE SOLWell now I'm no hero that's understood
All the redemption I can offer girl is beneath this dirty hood
RE FA#m SOL LAWith a chance to make it good somehow hey what else can we do now except
RE SOL RE-A-DRoll down the window and let the wind blow back our hair
Well the night's busted open these two lanes can take us anywhere
LAWe got one last chance to make it real
RE SOLto trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back, heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Ohh come take my hand We're ridin out tonight to case the Promised Land
RE FA#m SOL LAOh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder road, Oh Thunder Road
RE FA#mLyin' out there like a killer in the dark
Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
RE FA#m SOL LA REOh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
SOL LA RE
So I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
SIm SOL LAAnd my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
FA#m SImDoor's open but the ride ain't free
SOL SOLM7 MIm7 MImWell I know you've been waiting for words that I ain't spoken
Well tonight we'll be free--all the promises will be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
SImThey drive this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of
SOL LAburned-out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
FA#m SImYour graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
SOL MImAnd in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
Until you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in
SOL LA REIt's a town full of losers and we're pulling out of here to win
Screen door slams, Mary's
