Testo Thunder Road - Dan Bern
Testo della canzone Thunder Road (Dan Bern), tratta dall'album Light of Day: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch 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 myself alone again
Don't run back inside, darling
You know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright
And that's alright with me
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain
Make crosses from your lover, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Oh, I'm no hero, it's understood
All the redemption I can offer is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Oh, and what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
The night's busting open, these two lanes can take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
Trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back, Heaven's waiting down the tracks
Oh, come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road, Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
I know it's late, we can make it if we run
Oh, Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride ain't free
And I know you're lonely for words I ain't spoken
Tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch, they're gone
On the wind
So Mary, climb in
It's a town full of losers
And we're pulling out of here to win
