[00:01.44]Johnny works in a factory
[00:02.01]Billy works downtown
[00:02.58]Terry works in a rock and roll band
[00:03.45]Looking for that million dollar sound
[00:04.26]I got a job down in Darlington
[00:05.01]Some nights I don't go
[00:05.43]Some nights I go to the drive-in
[00:06.24]Some nights I stay home
[00:14.04]I followed that dream
[00:15.18]Just like those guys do way up on the screen
[00:16.02]Drove my Challenger down Route 9
[00:16.65]Through the dead ends and all the bad scenes
[00:17.43]The promise was broken
[00:17.94]Cashed in a few of my dreams
[00:19.14]Well I built that Challenger by myself
[00:23.40]But I needed money and so I sold it
[00:24.24]Lived a secret I should've kept to myself
[00:25.41]But I got drunk one night and I told it
[00:26.28]All my life, I fought that fight
[01:03.00]The fight that you can't win
[01:06.51]Every day it just gets harder to live
[01:13.32]The dream you're believing in
[01:13.92]Thunder Road, baby, you were so right
[01:26.43]Thunder Road, something dying down on the highway tonight
[01:27.69]Well I won big once and I hit the coast
[01:31.92]Yeah, but I paid the cost
[01:55.83]Inside I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits
[01:57.87]Of all the other ones who lost
[01:58.47]The promise is broken, you go on living
[01:59.28]It steals something from down in your soul
[02:04.08]When the truth is spoken, it don't make no difference
[02:05.10]Something in your heart goes cold
[02:06.12]I followed that dream through the southwestern tracks
[02:07.11]That dead ends in the two-bit bars
[02:07.83]The promise was broken, I was far away from home
[02:43.74]Sleeping in the back seat of a borrowed car
[02:44.55]Thunder Road is for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
[02:46.80]Thunder Road is for the tires rushing by in the rain
[02:54.57]Thunder Road me and Billy we'd always sing
[03:13.32]Thunder Road, take it all and throw it all away
