D F#m G Like a vision dancing across the porch as the radio plays. A D G Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only. D A Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again. D G D A-D Don't run back inside, honey, you know just what I'm here for. And you're scared and you're thinking that F#m G Maybe we ain't that young any more. A Show a little faith, there's magic in the night, D G You ain't a beauty but eh, you're all right; D A Oh and that's alright with me D A You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain, D G Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain. D F#m G A Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets. D G Well now I'm no hero that's understood; D G All the redemption I can offer girl is beneath this dirty hood. D F#m G A With a chance to make it good somehow, hey what else can we do now, except; D G D A-D Roll down the window and let the wind blow back our hair. F#m G Well the night's busted open these two lanes can take us anywhere. A We got one last chance to make it real; D G to trade in these wings on some wheels, D A Climb in back, heaven's waiting on down the tracks. D A D G Ohh come take my hand; we're ridin out tonight to case the Promised Land. D F#m G A Oh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder road, Oh Thunder Road. D G Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun; D G Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run. D F#m G A D Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road. G A D So I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk. Bm G A And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk. G A From your front porch to my front seat, F#m Bm Door's open but the ride ain't free. G Em Well I know you've been waiting for words that I ain't spoken, A Well tonight we'll be free; all the promises will be broken. D A D 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 G A burned-out Chevrolets. G A They scream your name at night in the street, F#m Bm Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet. G Em G A And in the lonely cool before dawn; you hear their engines roaring on; G A G Em Until you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind: so Mary climb in, G A D It's a town full of losers and we're pulling out of here to win. D A D G D A G A 5x Set8
