Testo The Promise - Graziano Romani
Testo della canzone The Promise (Graziano Romani), tratta dall'album Light of Day: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen
Johnny works in a factory
And Billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock'n'roll band
Looking for that million dollar sign
Me, sometimes I don't do nothing
Spend a lot of time alone
Some nights I go to the drive-in
And some nights I stay home
I followed that dream
Just like those guys do
Way up on the screen
And I drove a challenger
Down route 9 through the dead ends
And all the bad scenes
When the promise was broken
I cashed in a few of my dreams
Well, now I built that challenger by myself
But I needed money so I sold it
I lived a secret I should have kept to myself
But I got drunk one night and I told it
All my life I fought this fight
The one that no man can ever win
And every day it just gets harder to live
The dream I'm believing in
Thunder road
Oh, baby you were so right
Thunder road
There's something dying down on the highway tonight
Well, now I won big once and I hit the coast
Oh, but somehow I paid the big cost
Inside I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits
Of all the other ones who lost
And when the promise is broken
You go on living
But man it steals something from down in your soul
Like when the truth is spoken
And it don't make no difference
Something in your heart goes cold
I followed that dream
Through the southwestern tracks
The dead ends and two bit bars
And when the promise was broken
I was far away from home
Sleeping in the back seat of a borrowed car
Thunder road
For the lost lovers and all the fixed games
Thunder road
For the tires rushing by in the rain
Thunder road
Oh, Billy and me we'd always say
Thunder road
We were gonna take it all
And throw it all away
