A G
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
G A D G
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely hey that’s me and I want you only
D G A A7
Don’t’ turn me home again, I just can’t face myself alone again.

D G D
Don’t run back inside darlin’ you know just what I’m here for,
A A G
your scared and thinkin that maybe we ain’t that young anymore.
G A D G
Show a little faith there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
D A
Oh and that's alright with me.

D Bm
You can hide neath your covers and study your pain,
D G
make crosses from your lovers throw roses in the rain.
D F#m G A A7
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets.
D Bm D
Well now I’m no hero that’s understood all the redemption I can offer girl is
G
beneath this dirty hood,
D F#m G A
With a chance to make it good somehow, hey what else can we do now?

D G D
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair,
D A G
Well the night's bustin' open, these two lanes will take us anywhere.
G A D G
We got one last chance to make it real, to trade in these wings on some wheels
G D A A7
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks.

D Bm D G
Oh oh come take my hand, we’re riding out tonight to case the promised land
D F#m G A7
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, oh thunder road, oh thunder road
D Bm D G
Lying out there like a killer in the sun, hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
D F#m G A7 D
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, sit tight, take hold, thunder road

[Verse 1]
D
To this day when I hear that song, I see you standing there on that lawn
G Bm A
Discount shades, store bought tan, flip-flops and cut-off jeans
D
Somewhere between that setting sun, I'm On Fire and Born To Run
G Bm A
You looked at me and I was done but we were just getting started
D
I was singing to you, you were singing to me, I was so alive; never been more free
G Bm A
Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang oh
D
Stayed there till the forced us out, we took the long way to your house
G Bm A
I can still hear the sound of you saying don't go

[Chorus]
D A
When I think about you I think about 17
Bm G
I think about my old Jeep I think about the stars in the sky
Bm A
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
D G Em A D G Bm A
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night Springsteen

[Verse 2]
D
I bumped in to you by happenstance you probably wouldn't even know who I am
G Bm A
But if I whispered your name, I bet there'd still be a spark
D
From back when I was gasoline and this old tattoo had brand new ink
G Bm A
And we didn't care what your mom would think 'bout your name on my arm
D
Baby is it spring or is it summer the guitar sound or the beat of the drummer
G Bm A
You hear sometimes late at night on your radio
D
Even though you're a million miles away when you hear Born In The USA
G Bm A
Do you relive those Glory Days from so long ago

[Chorus]
D A
When you think about me, do you think about 17?
Bm G
Do you think about my old Jeep, think about the stars in the sky?
Bm A
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
D G Em A D G Bm A
