Had Little
The screen door slams,
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she
dances across the floor
as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely,
hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again,
I just can't face my
self alone
Don't run back inside, darling,
you know just what I'm here for
Cause you're scared
and you're thinking
that maybe we're not so
young anymore
Have a little faith,
there's magic in the night
This is your beauty, honey,
you're alright
You can
hide beneath your covers
and cuddle your pain
Make crosses from your lavas,
throw roses in the rain
Wish your son would pray in a vein
For a savior to arise from these streets
Well I'm not perfect,
that's understood
I'll tell you something in you,
I'm all listening
With a chance to make
it real somehow,
what else can we do now?
Except roll down the windows
and let the wind blow back your hair
Well, your life's bursting open,
your beauty can't take us anywhere
We've got one last chance
to make this real
To tread in these winds on what's real
Come on, you are so beautiful, oh
Oh, come take my hand
We're going out tonight
to kiss up the mother's land
Oh, Thunder Road,
Oh, Thunder Road,
Oh, Thunder Road
A lot out there, there's a killer in the sun
Hey, I know it's late,
but we'll make it if we run
Oh, Thunder Road,
sit tight tonight, Thunder Road
Well, I've got this guitar
and I've learned how to make it sing
And my call's out back
if you're ready to take this long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the
ride's not cheap
Hell, I know you're lonely for
words I've not spoken
Tonight we'll be free,
our promise has been broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
of all the put -downs that you received
They haunt you still in the night,
but now is the time to let them roll away
Yes, they scream your name
at night on the streets
Congratulations boy,
the world's at your feet
You've always been alone
Now is the time to let that all go
Cause I'm here
I, I'm here
So come over here
It's a time for winners
We're getting out of here to win
Check you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah -ah, oh -oh
Oh, oh -oh oh -oh ohhhhhhh
