Songtext:
Johnny works in a factory and billy works downtown Folien drucken Terry works in a rock'n'roll band Looking for that million-dollar sound Me i don't do nothing much, I spend a lot of time alone Some nights i go to the drive-in, Homepage Erstellung Duesseldorf And some night i stay home I followed that dream Just like those guys do way up on the screen Drove a chopped up challenger Down route 9 Saadiyat Island Through the dead ends and all the bad scenes And when the promise was broken I cashed in a few of my dream
Well, i built that challenger by myself Mandala Kinder But i needed money and so i sold it I lived a secret i should've kept to myself But i got drunk one night and i told it All my life i fought that fight The one that no man can never win And every day it just gets harder To live the dream i'm believing in
Thunder road ... I stay up every morning until it turns light Thunder road ... There's something dying out on the highway tonight
Well now i won big once and i hit the coast, Oh but somehow i paid the big cost Inside i felt like i was carrying The broken spirits of all the other ones who lost When the promise is broken you go on living But man it takes something from down in your soul Like when the truth is spoken, it don't make no Difference Finally something in your heart turns cold Yeah i followed that dream, me and some guysin the dead ends and all the Two-bit bars The night the promise was broken I was drunk and far away from home, Sleeping with a stranger In the back seat of a borrowed car
Thunder road ... Here's one for the lost lovers and all the fixed games Thunder road ... Here's one for the tires rushing by in the rain Thunder road ... I remember when me and billy, we'd always say Thunder road ... We were gonna take it all, and throw it all away
