G C G D G
Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Bm C
Like a vision dancing across the porch as the radio plays
D G C
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
G D
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
G C G D G
Don't run back inside, honey, you know just what I'm here for
Bm
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
Bm Am C
You ain't a beauty but eh, you're alright
D
Oh and that's alright with me
G D
You can hide neath your covers and study your pain
G C
Make crosses from your lovers Throw roses in the rain
G Bm C D
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets
G C
Well now I'm no hero That's understood
G C
All the redemption I can offer, girl is beneath this dirty hood
G Bm C D
With a chance to make it good somehow hey what else can we do now
G C G D G
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
Bm C
Well the night's busting open these two lanes will take us anywhere
D G C
We got one last chance to make it real to trade in these wings on some wheels
D
Climb in back heaven's waiting on down the tracks
G D G C
Ohh come take my hand We're ridin out tonight to case the Promised Land
G Bm C D
Oh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder road, Oh Thunder Road

G Bm C D G
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
C D G
So I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
C C D
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
C D
From your front porch to my front seat
Bm C
Door's open but the ride ain't free
Am
Well I know you've been waiting for words that I ain't spoken
D
Well tonight we'll be free--all the promises will be broken
G D G
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
Bm
They drive this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of
C
Burned-out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
D
And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
C D G C D
Until you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in
C D G
It's a town full of losers and we're pulling out of here to win
