Lyrics
Thunder Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison sings 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 run back inside
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, I said, boy,
That's alright with me
Oh come take my hand
Driving out tonight to the promised land
Oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
Oh Thunder Road
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
That's alright with me
