martyn joseph - thunder road lyrics

[verse 1]
well, the screen door slammed and mary’s dress swayed
like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays
roy orbison singing for the lonely
girl, that’s me, and i want you only
don’t turn me home again
i just can’t face myself alone again

[verse 2]
don’t you run back inside
darling, you know just what i’m here for
so 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 3]
you can hide ‘neath your covers and study your pain
make crosses for your lovers, throw roses in the rain
waste your summer praying in vain
for a savior to rise on these streets
well, i’m no hero, that’s understood
all the redemption i can offer is beneath this dirty hood
with a chance to make it good somehow
so what else can we do now?
[chorus]
except roll down the window
let the wind blow back your hair
well, the night’s busting open
and these two lanes can take us anywhere
we got one last chance to make it real
we can trade in these wings on some wheels
so climb in back, girl, heaven’s waiting down on the tracks

[post+chorus]
oh, come take my hand
we’re riding out tonight to case the promised land
oh, thunder road, oh, thunder road, thunder road
lying out there like a k!ller in the sun
i know it’s late, but we could make it if we run
oh, thunder road, sit tight, take hold
thunder road

[verse 4]
well, i’ve got this guitar, and i learned how to make it talk
and my car’s out back if you’re willing to take that long, long walk
from your front porch to my front seat
the door is open but the ride it ain’t free
now i know you’re lonely and there’s words i ain’t spoken
but tonight we’ll be free and the promises’ll be broken
[chorus]
there were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
they haunt these dusty beach roads
in the skeleton frames of burned out chevrolets
and 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
but when you get to your front porch they’re gone on the wind
so mary, climb in
this is a town full of losers and we’re pulling out of here to win

[outro]
oh
oh
oh
la la la, la la la
oh
oh
oh
la la, yeah
la la
yeah
