The screen door slams and Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
Don't send me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
Well 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
Well 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
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 it's understood
All the redemption I've got to offer girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it real somehow
Tell me 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 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
I know it's late but we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
Don't send me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
Well 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
Well 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
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 it's understood
All the redemption I've got to offer girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it real somehow

Oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun

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