Wings For Wheels (thunder Road)

The screen door slams, christine's (angelina's) dress waves

Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays

Roy orbison singing for the lonely

(hey) that's me (babe) and i want you only

Don't turn me home again

I just can't face myself alone (in that mirror) again tonight

Don't run back inside, you know just what i'm here for

So you're scared and you're thinking

That maybe you (we) ain't that young anymore

Show a little faith (well woman) there's magic in the night

You ain't a beauty but hey (baby, ah) you're alright

And that's alright with me



This 4/4 she's gonna overheat

Make up your mind girl i gotta get her back out on the street

I know you're lonely like me so baby don't try and fake it

I'm no prince and i can't lay the stars at your feet

But i got this old car and she's pretty tough to beat

There's plenty of room in my front seat, baby if you wanna take it



Oh roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair

It's like the rushing touch, the dirty wings them highway angels wear

Well tonight we're gonna find out how it feels

I'm gonna trade in your wings - for wheels

Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks

Ah, mama, come take my hand (well now try hard chrissie to understand)

We're gonna ride all the way to the promised land

Oh i'm gonna dance all the way, dance all the way

(babe if you're born with nothing in your hands

Hey it's your only chance)

Well i don't know but baby i've been told

There's something waiting for us, down that dirty road

Oh take a chance, take a chance, take a chance

(oh i wish you would come

So leave what you've lost, leave what's grown old on thunder road)



Well now i bought this guitar and i learned how to make it talk

I got my car parked out back if you're ready to take that long walk

From your front porch to my front seat

Well i think we could take it all babe, just you and me

Climb in back baby, the ride's for free

Oh come take my hand, we're gonna ride all the way to the promised land

We'll dance all the way

Oh baby i don't know but i've been told

There's something waiting for us, down that dirty road

If we take our chance, take our chance



Now the season's over and i feel it getting cold

I wish i could take you to some sandy beach where we'd never grow old

Ah but baby you know that's just jive

But tonight's bustin' open and i'm alive

Oh do (baby) whay you can to make me feel like a man

But this 4/4/2's gonna overheat

Make up your mind girl, i gotta get her back out on the street

I know you're lonely like me, oh so don't fake it

And maybe i can't lay the stars at your feet

But i got this old car and she's pretty tough to beat

There's plenty of room in my front seat

Oh if you think you can make it, climb in (so christine climb in)

This is town full of losers and baby i was born to win
