The screen door slams Marys dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey thats me and I want you only Dont turn me home again 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 anymore Show a little faith, theres magic in the night You aint a beauty, but hey youre alright Oh 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 now Im no hero Thats understood All the redemption I can offer girl Is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now Except roll down the window And let the wind blow back your hair Well the nights busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back Heavens waiting on down the tracks Oh oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road Oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know its late, we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold Thunder RoadWell I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk And my cars out back If youre ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The doors open but the ride it aint free And I know youre lonely For words that I aint spoken But tonight well be free All the promisesll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch theyre gone On the wind, so Mary climb in Its a town full of losers And Im pulling out of here to win

Well, she drew out all her money from the Southern Trust And put her little boy on the Greyhound bus Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand With a one-way ticket to the promised land Hey, little girl with the red dress on Theres party, tonight, down in Memphis town Ill be going down there if you need a ride The man on the radio says Elvis Presleys died We drove to Memphis, the sky was hard and black Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac They drawed out all his money, and they laid him in the back A woman cried from the roadside: Oh, hes gone, hes gone They found him slumped up against the drain With a whole lotta trouble running through his veins Bye-bye, Johnny Johnny, bye-bye You didnt have to die You didnt have to die

Driving home she grabs something to eat Turns a corner and drives down her street Into a row of houses she melts away Like the scenery in another mans play To a house where the blinds are closed To keep from seeing things she dont wanna know She pulls the blinds, she looks out on the street The cool of the night takes the edge off the heat In the Jackson Cage Down in the Jackson Cage You can try with all your might But youre reminded every night That youve been judged and handed life Down in the Jackson Cage Every day ends in wasted motion Crossed swords on the killing floor To settle back is to settle without knowing The hard edge that youre settling for Cause theres always just one more day And it always will be that way Girl, youve been down here so long I could tell by the way that you move you belong To the Jackson Cage Down in the Jackson Cage And it dont matter just what you say Are you tough enough to play the game they play?

Well now on a summer night in a dusky room Come a little piece of the Lords undying light Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon In his mothers arms it was all the beauty I could take Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused Searching for a little bit of Gods mercy I found living proof I put my heart and soul I put em high upon a shelf Right next to the faith the faith that Id lost in myself I went down into the desert city Just tryin so hard to shed my skin I crawled deep into some kind of darkness Lookin to burn out every trace of who Id been You do some sad sad things baby When its you youre tryin to lose You do some sad and hurtful things Ive seen living proof You shot through my anger and rage To show me my prison was just an open cage There were no keys no guards Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars Well now all thats sure on the boulevard Is that life is just a house of cards As fragile as each and every breath Of this boy sleepin in our bed Tonight lets lie beneath the eaves Just a close band of happy thieves And when that train comes well get on board And steal what we can from the treasures treasures of the Lord Its been a long long drought baby Tonight the rains pourin down on our roof Looking for a little bit of Gods mercy I found living proof

In Candys room There are pictures of her heroes on the wall But to get to Candys room You gotta walk the darkness of Candys hall Strangers from the city Call my babys number, they bring her toys When I come knocking, she smiles pretty She knows I wanna be Candys boy Theres a sadness hidden in that pretty face A sadness all her own From which no man can keep Candy safe We kiss, my heart falling to my brain The blood rushes in my veins When I touch Candys thighs And we go driving Driving deep into the night I go driving deep into the light In Candys eyes She says, Baby, if you wanna be wild You got a lot to learn Close your eyes, let them melt Let them fire, lLet them burn Cause in the darkness Therell be hidden worlds that shine When I hold Candy close She makes those hidden worlds mine She has fancy clothes and diamond rings And she has men wholl bring her anything She wants but they dont see That what she wants is me Oh, and I want her so Ill never let her go, no, no, no She knows that Id give All that I got to give All that I want as I live To make Candy mine Tonight

Well, we busted out of class Had to get away from those fools We learned more from a three-minute record, baby Than we ever learned in school Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound I can feel my heart begin to pound You say youre tired and you just want to close your eyes And follow your dreams down Well we made a promise we swore we’d always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender Like soldiers in the winters night with a vow to defend No retreat, baby, no surrender Now young faces grow sad and old And hearts of fire grow cold We swore blood brothers against the wind I am ready to grow young again And hear your sisters voice calling us home Across the open yards Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own With these drums and these guitars Oh we made a promise we swore we’d always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend No retreat, baby, no surrender Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim The walls of my room are closing in Theres a war outside still raging You say it aint ours anymore to win I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies In my lovers bed With the wide open country in my eyes And these romantic dreams in my head Oh we made a promise we swore wed always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend No retreat, baby, no surrender No retreat, baby, no surrender

There’s place out on the edge of town sir Risin’ above the factories and the fields Now ever since I was a child I can remember that mansion on the hill In the day you can see the children playing On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel Steel gates that completely surround sir the mansion on the hill At night my daddy’d take me and we’d ride through the streets of a town so silent and still Park on a back road along the highway side Look up at that mansion on the hill In the summer all the lights would shine there’d be music playin’ people laughin’ all the time Me and my sister we’d hide out in the tall corn fields Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill Tonight down here in Linden Town I watch the cars rushin’ by home from the mill There’s a beautiful full moon rising above the mansion on the hill
