[Verse 1]
F A# F
Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves,
C A#
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays,
C F A#
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey thats me and I want you only,
F C
Don't turn me home again I just cant face myself alone again...
F A# F
Dont run back inside darling you know just what I'm here for,
C A#
So you're scared and you're thinkin that maybe we ain't that young anymore,
C F A#
Show a little faith there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright...
F C
Oh and that's alright with me...
[Verse 2]
F Dm F A#
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain, make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
F Am A# C7
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets,
F Dm F A#
Well now I'm no hero thats understood, all the redemption I can offer girl is beneath this dirty hood
F Am A# C7
With a chance to make it good somehow, hey what else can we do now? except
[Verse 3]
F A# F
Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair,
C A#
Well the night's bustin' open, these two lanes will take us anywhere,
C F A#
We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels,
F C
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks...
[Verse 4]
F Dm F A#
Oh oh come take my hand riding out tonight to case the promised land
F Am A# C7
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, oh thunder road, oh thunder road,
F Dm F A#
Lying out there like a killer in the sun, hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
F Am A# C7 F
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, sit tight, take hold, thunder road...
[Verse 5]
A# C F Dm A# C
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk, my cars out back if yer ready to take that long walk
A# C Am Dm
From your front porch to my front seat, the door's open but the ride it ain't free
A# Gm C
And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken, tonight we'll be free all the promises will be broken
[Verse 6]
F A# F
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
C A#
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
C F A#
They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
Am A#
And in the lonely cool before dawn, you hear their engines roaring on
Gm C A# Gm
But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind, so Mary climb in
A# C F
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win
[Outro]
F C F A# F C A# C
