Screen door slams Mary's dress waves
Bm C
Like a vision dancing across the porch as the radio plays
D G C
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely hey that's me and I want you only
G D
Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside honey you know just what I'm here for
And you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that
young any more

You ain't a beauty but eh you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

G Bm C D G
Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold Thunder Road
C D G
So I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
Em C D
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
C D
From your front porch to my front seat
Bm Em
Door's open but the ride ain't free
C C- Am7 Am
Well I know you've been waiting for words that I ain't spoken
D D+ D- D7
Well tonight we'll be free--all the promises will be broken
