Intro:
E A E A
E g#m A B
A Escreen door slams,A Mary's Edress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the Aradio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the Blonely, hey that's Eme and I want you Aonly
Don't turn me home again, I Ejust can't face myself aBlone again
Don't Erun back inside, darlin, Ayou know just what I'm Ehere for
So you're scared and you're thinking that
Maybe we ain't that Ayoung any more
Show a little faith, there's magic in the Bnight
You ain't a Ebeauty but hey you're all Aright
Oh and Ethat's alright with Bme
You can Ehide beneath your covers and c#mstudy your pain,
Make Ecrosses from your lovers, throw Aroses in the rain
EWaste your summer g#mpraying in vain for a Asavior to rise from these Bstreets
Well now EI'm no hero that's c#munderstood
All the reEdemption I can offer girl is Abeneath this dirty hood
EWith a chance to make it g#mgood somehow hey Awhat else can we do Bnow except
ERoll down the window and Alet the wind blow Eback your hair
Well the night's busting open these g#mtwo lanes can take us Aanywhere
We got one last chance to make it Breal
to Etrade in these wings on some Awheels
Climb in back, heaven's Ewaiting down on the Btracks
EOh come c#mtake my hand We're Eridin out tonight to Acase the promised land
EOh g#moh thunder Road, Aoh thunder road, Boh thunder road
ELyin' out there like a A/C#killer in the sun
Hey EI know it's late, we can Amake it if we run
EOh g#moh thunder road, sit Atight, take Bhold, thunder Eroad
Well I Agot this guitar and I Blearned how to make it Etalk
And my c#mcar's out back if you're ready to take that Along Bwalk
From your Afront porch to my front Bseat
Door's g#mopen but the ride ain't c#mfree
Well AI know you're A/G#hunry for f#mwords that I ain't Espoken
Well Btonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken
There were Eghosts in the eyes of all the Aboys you sent Eaway
They haunt this Edusty beach road in the g#mskeleton frames of
Aburned-out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the Bstreet
Your graduation Egown lies in rags at their Afeet
And in the g#mlonely cool before dawn you hear their Aengines roaring on
But when you Aget to the porch, they're Bgone on the Awind so Mary climb f#min
It's a Atown full of losers I'm Bpulling out of here to wEin
