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  
When the promise was broken, I cashed in a few of my dreams  
  
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 ever 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 somethin' 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  
Somethin' 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 backseat 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
