[00:00.15]Bruce Springsteen - The Promise
[00:01.59].
[00:04.65].
[00:07.46].
[00:26.46]Johnny works in a factory
[00:31.47]and Billy works downtown
[00:38.22]Terry works in a rock and roll band lookin' for
[00:44.15]that million-dollar sound
[00:50.34]And I got a little job down in Darlington
[00:54.84]but some nights I don't go
[01:03.65]Some nights I go to the drive-in or some nights I stay home
[01:16.03]I followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the screen
[01:28.84]And I drove a Challenger down Route 9 through the dead ends
[01:36.15]and all the bad scenes
[01:41.40]And when the promise was broken,
[01:44.84]I cashed in a few of my own dreams
[01:49.46].
[01:53.59]Well now I built that Challenger by myself,
[01:59.90]but I needed money and so I sold it
[02:07.15]I lived a secret I should'a kept to myself,
[02:12.71]but I got drunk one night and I told it
[02:19.78]All my life I fought this fight,
[02:25.97]the fight that no man can ever win
[02:32.84]Every day it just gets harder to live this dream
[02:39.84]I'm believing in
[02:43.84]Thunder Road, oh baby you were so right
[02:56.34]Thunder Road, there's somethin' dyin'
[03:04.66]down on the highway tonight
[03:10.53].
[03:20.59]I won big once and I hit the coast,
[03:24.71]oh but somehow I paid the big cost
[03:31.65]Inside I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits
[03:37.96]of all the other ones who lost
[03:45.12]When the promise is broken you go on living,
[03:51.19]but it steals something from down in your soul
[03:57.75]Like when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference,
[04:03.69]somethin' in your heart turns cold
[04:09.19]Thunder Road, for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
[04:21.50]Thunder Road, for the tires rushing by in the rain
[04:33.87]Thunder Road, remember what me and Billy we'd always say
[04:46.19]Thunder Road, we were gonna take it all then threw it all away
[05:01.81].
