![]() The screen door slams, Chrissie's dress sways ![]() The following are lyrics from an early acoustic outtake version: It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feetīefore you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind They scream your name at night in the street ![]() They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away Tonight, girl, we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken The door's open but the ride, it ain't freeĪnd I know you're lonely for words I ain't spoken Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talkĪnd my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk ![]() Hey, I know it's late we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder Road We're riding out to case the promised land Well the night's busting open these two lanes will take us anywhereĬlimb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks With a chance to make it good somehow, what else can we do nowĮxcept roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streetsĪll the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain You ain't a beauty, but hey you're all right Show a little faith, there's magic in the night So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore ![]() Like a vision she dances across the porch ![]()
