lyrics

Thunder Road

I haven’t breathed a word for 25 years
Driving down this highway, choking on my fears
Rain floods my vision, but somehow I see the sign
River to the left, Thunder Road on the right

I can feel the car coming to a stop
My hand on the door, this time I’ll get out
There’s something I gotta unload, maybe you got your due
When the river took your life, I want mine back from you

6 am, the river runs high
I’ll never forgive what you did that night
In all the rain, rain, rolling down Thunder Road
All the rain, rain, rolling down Thunder Road

Like the last scene of a movie, when everything gets quiet
I move in slow motion, no traffic in sight
All the people watching, left hanging on the edge
I don’t know what’s coming, I want the rain to end

Walking cross the highway, heading down the bank
River used to scare me, now I give it thanks
For taking you, lonely bastard and washing you to the bone
But there’s something dirty left behind, at the end of Thunder Road

CHORUS

You should know I survived, a miracle girl
But this torn-up dress still smells like it hurt
Lay it on the water and watch it disappear
You’ll get no more of me, my suffering ends here

CHORUS
