[06:03.00]Johnny works in a factory
[06:03.00]Billy works downtown
[06:03.00]Terry works in a rock and roll band
[06:03.00]Looking for that million dollar sound
[06:03.00]I got a job down in Darlington
[06:03.00]Some nights I don't go
[06:03.00]Some nights I go to the drive-in
[06:03.00]Some nights I stay home
[06:03.00]I followed that dream
[06:03.00]Just like those guys do way up on the screen
[06:03.00]Drove my Challenger down Route 9
[06:03.00]Through the dead ends and all the bad scenes
[06:03.00]The promise was broken
[06:03.00]Cashed in a few of my dreams
[06:03.00]Well I built that Challenger by myself
[06:03.00]But I needed money and so I sold it
[06:03.00]Lived a secret I should've kept to myself
[06:03.00]But I got drunk one night and I told it
[06:03.00]All my life, I fought that fight
[06:03.00]The fight that you can't win
[06:03.00]Every day it just gets harder to live
[06:03.00]The dream you're believing in
[06:03.00]Thunder Road, baby, you were so right
[06:03.00]Thunder Road, something dying down on the highway tonight
[06:03.00]Well I won big once and I hit the coast
[06:03.00]Yeah, but I paid the cost
[06:03.00]Inside I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits
[06:03.00]Of all the other ones who lost
[06:03.00]The promise is broken, you go on living
[06:03.00]It steals something from down in your soul
[06:03.00]When the truth is spoken, it don't make no difference
[06:03.00]Something in your heart goes cold
[06:03.00]I followed that dream through the southwestern tracks
[06:03.00]That dead ends in the two-bit bars
[06:03.00]The promise was broken, I was far away from home
[06:03.00]Sleeping in the back seat of a borrowed car
[06:03.00]Thunder Road is for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
[06:03.00]Thunder Road is for the tires rushing by in the rain
[06:03.00]Thunder Road me and Billy we'd always sing
[06:03.00]Thunder Road, take it all and throw it all away
