I’m no hero
Well, now I’m no hero:
That’s understood.
All the redemption I can offer, girl,
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow,
Hey what else can we do now?Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair.
Well, the night’s busting open,
These two lanes will take us anywhere.We got one last chance to make it real:
To trade in these wings on some wheels.
Climb in back,
Heaven’s waiting on down the tracks.Oh, come take my hand,
Riding out tonight to case the promised land.
Oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road:Lying out there like a killer in the sun.
Hey I know it’s late, we can make it if we run.
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold,
Thunder Road!
Bruce Springsteen, 1975, from the song “Thunder Road”
