text: Well the screen door slams, Marys dress waves
  And like a vision she dances across the porch
  While the radio plays
  Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
  Hey thats me and I want you only
  Dont turn me home again
  Cause I just cant face myself alone again
  Dont run back inside darling
  You know just what Im here for
  So youre scared and youre thinking
  That maybe we aint that young any more
  Show a little faith, theres magic in the night
  You aint a beauty, but hey youre alright
  And thats alright with me
  You can hide neath your covers
  And study your pain
  Make crosses from your lovers
  Throw roses in the rain
  Waste your summer praying in vain
  For a savior to rise from these streets
  Well listen I aint no hero
  Thats understood
  All the redemption I can offer, girl
  Is beneath this dirty hood
  With a chance to make it good somehow
  What else can we do now?
  Except roll down the window
  And let the wind blow back your hair
  This nights busting open
  These two lanes will take us anywhere
  Oh we got one last chance to make it real
  We can trade in these wings on some wheels
  Climb in back, heavens waiting down on the tracks
  Oh come take my hand
  Were riding out tonight to face the promised land
  Oh thunder road
  You know lying out there like a killer in the sun
  And oh I know its late, we can make it if we run
  We can make it if we run, we can make it if we run
  Yeah so we got this guitar
  We learned how to make it talk, the cars out back
  If youre ready to take that long, long walk
  From your front porch to my front seat
  The doors open but the ride it aint free
  Tonight you were lonely, for words that I aint spoken
  But tonight well be free
  All the promises will be broken
  There were ghosts in the eyes
  Of all the boys you sent away
  And they haunt this dusty beach road
  In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
  We got one last chance to make it real
  We got one last chance to make it real
