Johnny works in a factory and Billy works downtown
  Terry works in a rock and roll band
  Lookin' for that million-dollar sound
  I got a little job down in Darlington
  But some nights I don't go
  Some nights I go to the drive-in, or some nights I stay home
  I followed that dream just like those guys do up on the screen
  And I drive a Challenger down Route 9 through the dead ends and all the bad scenes
  And when the promise was broken, I cashed in a few of my dream
  
  Well now I built that Challenger by myself
  But I needed money and so I sold it
  I lived a secret I should'a kept to myself
  But I got drunk one night and I told it
  All my life I fought this fight
  The fight that no man can never win
  Every day it just gets harder to live
  This dream I'm believing in
  Thunder Road, oh baby you were so right
  Thunder Road there's something dyin' on the highway tonight
  
  I won big once and I hit the coast
  But somehow I paid the big cost
  Inside I felt like I was carryin' the broken spirits
  Of all the other ones who lost
  When the promise is broken you go on living
  But it steals something from down in your soul
  Like when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference
  Something in your heart goes cold
  I followed that dream through the southwestern flats
  That dead ends in two-bit bars
  And when the promise was broken I was far away from home
  Sleepin' in the back seat of a borrowed car
  Thunder Road, for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
  Thunder Road, for the tires rushing by in the rain
  Thunder Road, Billy and me we'd always say
  Thunder Road, we were gonna take it all and throw it all away
