text: The screen door slams, christines dress waves
  Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
  Roy orbison singing for the lonely
   thats me and I want you only
  Dont turn me home again
  I just cant face myself alone again tonight
  Dont run back inside, you know just what Im here for
  So youre scared and youre thinking
  That maybe you aint that young anymore
  Show a little faith theres magic in the night
  You aint a beauty but hey youre alright
  And thats alright with me
  This 4/4 shes gonna overheat
  Make up your mind girl I gotta get her back out on the street
  I know youre lonely like me so baby dont try and fake it
  Im no prince and I cant lay the stars at your feet
  But I got this old car and shes pretty tough to beat
  Theres plenty of room in my front seat, baby if you wanna take it
  Oh roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
  Its like the rushing touch, the dirty wings them highway angels wear
  Well tonight were gonna find out how it feels
  Im gonna trade in your wings - for wheels
  Climb in back, heavens waiting down on the tracks
  Ah, mama, come take my hand 
  Were gonna ride all the way to the promised land
  Oh Im gonna dance all the way, dance all the way
  (babe if youre born with nothing in your hands
  Hey its your only chance)
  Well I dont know but baby Ive been told
  Theres something waiting for us, down that dirty road
  Oh take a chance, take a chance, take a chance
  (oh I wish you would come
  So leave what youve lost, leave whats grown old on thunder road)
  Well now I bought this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
  I got my car parked out back if youre ready to take that long walk
  From your front porch to my front seat
  Well I think we could take it all babe, just you and me
  Climb in back baby, the rides for free
  Oh come take my hand, were gonna ride all the way to the promised land
  Well dance all the way
  Oh baby I dont know but Ive been told
  Theres something waiting for us, down that dirty road
  If we take our chance, take our chance
  Now the seasons over and I feel it getting cold
  I wish I could take you to some sandy beach where wed never grow old
  Ah but baby you know thats just jive
  But tonights bustin open and Im alive
  Oh do whay you can to make me feel like a man
  But this 4/4/2s gonna overheat
  Make up your mind girl, I gotta get her back out on the street
  I know youre lonely like me, oh so dont fake it
  And maybe I cant lay the stars at your feet
  But I got this old car and shes pretty tough to beat
  Theres plenty of room in my front seat
  Oh if you think you can make it, climb in 
  This is town full of losers and baby I was born to win
