bruce springsteen - thunder road (springsteen on broadway) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the screen door slams
mary’s dress waves
like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays
it’s 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 you run back inside darling, you know just what i’m here for
you’re scared and you’re thinking that maybe we ain’t that young anymore
show a little faith, there’s magic in the night
you ain’t a beauty, but hey you’re alright
oh, and that’s alright with me

[verse 2]
you can hide underneath 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, 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 down on the tracks
oh, oh, come take my hand
we’re ridin’ out tonight to case this promised land
oh, oh, thunder road, oh thunder road, thunder road
you’re lying out there like a k!ller in the sun
hey, i know it’s late but we can make it if we run
oh thunder road sit tight, take hold
thunder road

[verse 3]
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, long, long walk
from your front porch to my front seat
the door’s open but the ride, it ain’t free
i know you’re lonely and there’s 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 men 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
when you get to the porch they’re gone, on the wind
so mary climb in
it’s a town full of losers
we’re i’m pulling out of here to win

[outro]
ba da da da da
la da da da da da da da
la da da da da da da
la da da
la da da da
ooh
