Like a vision she dances across the porch
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back insidedarling you
know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
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
Make crosses from your lovers
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
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
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Riding out tonight to case
oh Thunder Roadoh Thunder Road
Hey I know it's late we can
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder Road Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
If you're ready to take that long
walk>From your front porch to my front seat
For 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 boys 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
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win
