Thunder Road

Renato Russo - Thunder Road

Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves

Like a vision dancing 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, honey, you know just what I'm here for

And you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that

Young any more

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night

You ain't a beauty but eh, 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 savior 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

Ohh come take my hand We're ridin out tonight to case the Promised Land

Oh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder road, Oh Thunder Road

Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun

Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run

Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road

So 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
